1. Your Questions About How To Invest In Stocks As A
Teenager
Richard asks…
Do you think that getting a "job" as a Teenager is really a good
thing to do?
I never want to work for anyone in my whole life, and as far as I'm concerned, getting a job
working the till at a grocery store, mopping up floors, and flipping burgers is not a good thing.
In my opinion, all it does is train you to be an employee or "slave" so you can work for other
people for the rest of your life. What does it teach you about management skills? It teaches you
how to complete menial tasks and take orders. It basically trains you to be a part of the rat race
when you're older working a 9-5 job for a mediocre salary.
I'm 16 and instead of doing this I've been investing in the stock market (with great success and
I'm actually learning something) and this summer me and a group of people are going to create
a website (I'm not getting into anymore detail because this could make us millionaires if we do it
right and I can't share)
Do you think I'm doing the right thing? Do you agree with me or disagree.

That's definitely over-analyzing the whole situation. I have plenty of friends with jobs, and all it is
for them is a way to make some extra money. You have to listen to teachers at school, listening
to people is something you're going to have to do in life. Doesn't mean you're going to be a
slave though.
What you're doing is great, but it's not for a lot of people. So while you have your opinion, others
have theirs.
I think having a job, whether traditional or not, is a good thing. And I disagree with the fact that
you think a traditional job is bad, just because you have to listen to people.

HERE IS..!
English, Math, Social Studies, and Science those are just a few classes that are require in order
to graduate high school. Students benefit a lot from taking those classes especially if they are
planning on furthering their education. With furthering education there is a need to have
independence and confidence. A perfect way would be to teach about personal financing. It
would teach students how to save money, prevent bad credit, and how to invest.
Saving money as a teenager can be difficult especially if the person has no one to guide them
through it. The last thing on a teenagers mind is their future financially. A student spends
2/4

3. around $50 a month on clothes which is $2,000 a year that is a lot of money. If they would learn
to only spend their money on stuff they need they could save that money and used it in the long
run. We are always going to need money and we all need to learn to save money, why not start
early?
One important reason why people have trouble with big debts and credit issues is due to the
lack of education on personal financing. If we wait too long to teach students about credit it
might be too late. As soon as a student graduates high school and moves on to college they
are navigating life by themselves for the first time without their parents; that is when is when
most likely to run into credit problems. With this class they can learn the importance on credit
card use, how to read statements, how important it is to pay the balance, and credit reports.
The biggest factor in young adults getting into debt is due to credit cards because they do not
understand that credit limits are not a source of income. Our school system can change all of
that by the teaching personal financing.
Just imagine $20 growing. Sounds impossible, but is not. The only way that could happen is by
investing. Students can learn on what and how to invest their money. With investing they can
beat inflation, achieve financial goals and retirement. Yes, it might be too early for them to think
about retirement, but time does fly is better to be prepared. They can also learn to invest in
stocks, mutual funds, or bonds.
A lot of people might think that the personal financing class is a waste of time. Which I do
understand that because a parent should teach their kids about managing their money. But
these days a lot of parents are busy working two jobs to pay the bills, the parent barely has time
to help their kids with their homework. We can help the parents by teaching their kids all these
valuable skills. By knowing all of the skills they would not be loss when is time for them to
manage their money. It gives them a sense of independence and self-confidence because they
would know what they are doing.
Knowing that students would learn how to use their money wisely is great because they would
use all the skills learned for life. Everyone is always dealing with money whether is too much or
not enough. This class would prevent bad credit and it would teach students the value of money
in many different ways. Not to mention they will be confident on spending their money wisely.
Therefore I strongly believe that a personal financing class should be mandatory in all the high
schools.
