Index funds then

Trumpcoin, all of it.

30k is not that much money. Assuming your salary is 70k, you could save that in a year.

Get a job. You're not an investor.

Invest in hemp, medical/recreational cannabis aka marijuana, weed, pot reefer :)
Hemp is where it's at.

I hear alot about index funds, what are they?

>>1495605
Throw it in a portfolio and set some aside for living expenses (if needed).

Figure out the allocation of bonds & stocks that fits you and stick to it. Never sell basically.

work a 9-5

Help guys I'm down to 28,924 USD wtf do I do???

Im getting a 33k bonus soon im looking into index funds. My question is should i wait for the economy collapse before i get into the s&p 500? And with that being said where should i hold it until that happens? Thanks for any answers anons

Bet 10k on red, if you lose bet 20k. Odds are you won't lose twice in a row.

$30K isn't enough to stress about. It seems like a lot to someone who has never had money, yes, but it's about a year's expenses if you stretch it out (I'm assuming you're both in the USA).

So the answer to the question "what should I do with it" is pretty much whatever you want. You could invest it in something, but you're looking at about $100 per month in returns, if you're lucky.

Honestly, I'd use it to start a small business.

A question to those suggesting OP invest in things like stocks/bonds. I tried opening a account at a few major reputable brokers like Interactive Brokers and TDAmeritrade after I lost my job but brokers denied me an account because I was unemployed at the time and I dint want to go with a small unheard of broker with no reputation. How do you guys think OP will be able to open a account with a reputable broker while unemployed? Lie and say you have a job, wont a reputable broker verify that?

>>1496444
??????????
No broker will deny you for being unemployed as long as you can make min deposit.

>>1495605
I'd recommend just saving the money, in a savings account or something equally liquid, in case you need it.
You could buy yourself what you need immediately, and save the rest.
I would probably go and get a job or two to obtain more money, and use the savings as a cushion until employed or to pay for additional training/certs.

>>1495605
Put it in bonds for a nice return

Stocks are ass right now

>>1495605
Wow. try a business bro.
Shit, give me that kind of money I'll open a mouth fedora shop
basically start a business that involves something you really like doing
