[QUOTE="Pikeillinifan, post: 1687179, member: 746599"] My main advice would be, find an online calculator and see what is ideal to save/invest and set goals. You don't need a financial advisor if you are disciplined, if you are not find one. Invest as much as you can at a young age and DO NOT touch it. Find solid stocks and do not try to play the market, just buy and HODL. I'm taking Apple, Amazon, Google, Nvidia, Netflix, (maybe Tesla/Rivian) etc. and some Bitcoin. Do not freak if the market drops, just buy and hold - even if there is a big market correction, you are young and it will recover. Just zoom out 10-20 years and see the bigger picture. Had I done that at a young age I'd be retired by now, I tried to get smart and took profits, spread my money too thin and had too many holdings so when a couple went up, a couple went down and I was buying and selling too much. Anyway, this is not financial advice, just things I've learned by making a lot of mistakes along the way. [/QUOTE]
