idk how it works where you live but when i did 4H the money i got for selling my steer went into an invesco account. invesco is something akin to the stock market, basically it takes the money you invested and buys shares to sell back and adds that money to the money you submited to the account. i used to have about 4000 until last summer when i wasted 1500 of it on trying to branch out into resin and silicon molding. it doesnt go up very fast but you still get money out of it, and you can withdraw any amount you want at most any time

Is that a broker company? I am currently at the look for a broker (that know what he's doing) I can "hand over money too". Since I hate having money in the bank that does "nothing" for me. @@
So I am currently researching for alternative methods for making my money work for me

Personally Id ivest it into a huge chunk off my own property. The reduction in trest I'd save offset with the additional income Id receive would out weight any "safe" investment id consider for the cash. Plus in spite of the market trends I think there is also a guaranteed great return on investment

Property such as? Land? Invest in your own property? Unfortunately I do not own any property as of yet. Currently working on a business idea which is my "main goal" for work. I am looking for investments to put my money in while saving up. I do not like having tons of money (hypothetically, I do not have tons of money!) in my bank account doing NOTHING.

My example was to invest it my own property reduce my mortage
say you have a 100k mortage over its life span you will pay back probably 280k.
So by reducing the defecit, I could either reduce teh life of the mortage and own my property outright or redecue my monthly payments making be several 100 better off a month.
If your looking to save your earnings, look into low risk stock savers or e-isas..
But interest rates are a bit crap atm globally because of the economies are tentative.

kk, suckered into posting here too >.<
now, you treat your money with how you treat your life, that is you spend your life to make your money therefore how you spend your money reflects how you want to live your life - so, not saying you don't know how to live, but i'm twisting Zab's answer - invest in yourself. If you have enough money there to afford a university degree then go do it - which is the point of my whole tirade.

Well then I suggest you either looks for high interest ISA (tieing away)
or when you get regular income use it as deposit on your own property. Property is your lifes biggest expenditure, might aswell get it the cheapest way possible. and your investment is safe that way too.
Look at the richest people in the world, property is a big money maker. Even in these tough times money can be tied up in property until the value increases.

There are several companies my dad is showcasing at the moment with patents on their products, one dealing in clay replacement discs for the spine and the other with new technology for dental gear, working on a ball-bearing system for less stress on the teeth and wrist of the dentist. I would invest $10,000 and $20,000 respectively before putting $15,000 in various side projects concerning renovation companies and a mom-and-pop video game store. The other $5,000 would go into a CD to mature.
