20k Complete Newbie
I'll have 20k in my savings by the end of the summer. 14k is in GIC's, but the interest is so poor. I'm a complete newbie to investing... Any idea as to where I should invest my money?
Thanks |

Try to make a Roth IRA contribution if you are eligable and have earned income. The maximum amount you can contribute is 4K. Once you contribute money to a Roth IRA the money grows tax free and is not taxed when withdrawn at retirement age.

Re: 20k Complete Newbie
theres a big thread on "The Intelligent Investor" and its a great book so far.
Put ur money in something safe like a online savings account take the time to read up and then start investing wisely |
