Vanguard 500 index
Invest in the stock market early and on a regular basis. Even if you know nothing about it, there is an easy way, advocated by Warren Buffet (richest stock market guy ever). Just go onto the Vanguard website, open an account, and find the mutual fund with letters VFINX, which stands for Vanguard 500 Index. It takes $3k to start so if you don’t have that much, save until you do. Here’s why. Long term, on average, this fund returns roughly 11% a year. In the past five years it returned an average of 13.72% a year which means you would have more than tripled your money in that period. Fund expenses are a ridiculously low 0.16% vs the 1–2% investment brokers can charge which means you keep much more of your money. After opening your VFINX account, set up an automatic investment program attached to your checking account and add a specific amount (as much as you can) from every paycheck. You might want to set up an IRA. If you don’t know, Vanguard will explain what that is and help you. VFINX invests in the Standard & Poors 500, the top 500 companies in the USA. Many small and large fortunes have been accumulated by doing exactly this

What a 20 yr needs to know about finance
1. The biggest investment you can make is on you. Work to be a better and efficient thinker, a compelling communicator, an optimist.
2. Read, everyday. Inside of books are palaces of gold. Books are divine conversations about how to make humanity better by making yourself and your ideas valuable.
3. The marketplace rewards value, not credentials. Always learn more skills. Learn coding and graphic design, perfect public speaking, master sales, know much about something that deeply interests you. Value is the number of problems you can solve.
4. Remember, to succeed you only need confidence and ignorance. Dress your best, be fun. People do business with people they like.
5. Networks determine networth. Write emails to people you would love to meet, people who inspire you. Ask them interesting questions. Connect interesting people you meet with each other. Grow your network.
6. Profits are better than wages. Learn about bootstrapping a startup, then start a side hustle, sell what you can, grow it into a business.
7. Wealth is not appearance of wealth. Only stuffy, pretentious people are attracted by your stuffy, pretentious self.
8. Live below your means. Money in the bank= freedom.
9. Seek financial literacy. It will blow away your assumptions and misconceptions about wealth.
10. You will grow rich, when you learn to spend your best hours creating art first, then doing all else second.
11. Lastly, as Steve Jobs said, everything you see in the world was created by people who are no more intelligent than you are. You can influence, you can change it. You can create amazing stuff of your own.
