how can i make this longer
If I had $10,000 to invest in anything, I would spend it toward help for my future. Many people my age think they have forever to start saving up. Though I am young, my future is closer than i think. The first thing I would do with about $500 is build my emergency fund. This is extremely important for unexpected costs, such as getting a flat tire, home repairs, and medical emergencies. The second thing I would do is pay off all my school and credit debt if I had any. This is a critical step in my investing because debt can build up very quickly. Having my debt taken care of will take stress off my back and allow me to focus on other things. After that, I would put a chunk of money in a 401k savings account. A 401k will help me have a monthly budget plan for saving money. After I open my account, I will start putting money in every month (About 10-20% of my monthly income). Something I would keep in mind throughout this process of organizing my $10,000 is that some people need this money more than I do. I will give 10% of what I have left every month to a charity or fundraiser.
