Recently started to do that to save for a striper guide trip I am interested in by May or June. Little bit here, little bit there.
Also, last weekend, I put 50 bucks into an investment that I feel, if I play my cards right, might actually net me the needed funds to build the center console before I graduate.
As unhappy as I am about the "new administration," I think I can do alright in this economy, as I have no bills to pay nor a reliance on my own money for necessities, so I can take higher risks than someone who has to rely on each paycheck for food and rent. Right now, in my opinion, is the time to follow Warren Buffet's advice "be scared when people are greedy, and be greedy when people are scared." People are scared right now.
I guess I can look at it this way. If I pull this off, not only will I have built the boat I wanted to before I graduate, I would have built the 12K boat on 50 bucks. At this point, I would like to see if I can do it fully from what I gain with the series of investments this 50 bucks goes through, as I don't plan to supplement it with money I earn from working, unless I am coming down to the wire, and need to. It will be tough, yes, but I think (know) I can. :wink:
