It's my own money from jobs and stipend. Yes it is risky, but my PhD is in finance so I understand the markets better than most average investors. I get around £1500 a year in dividends, a lot of my stocks don't pay a dividend. I reinvest that income either way.
sick, as it shuld be but some modern generation dons are stupid. stabd up for your height, race, etc. only people who have a **** life are insecure and acc absuing people without a joke

I don't sell stocks, I plan to hold (what I can) forever. They pay dividends, but not much, around £1500 a year.

Depends if you want dividends, most of my companies reinvest earnings, so you can get no dividends but make 5 times your money in 10 years.
Making a sandwich
but you wont hve money now which is vital. enjoy your life now and later. be smart in terms of happiness before money ruins and runs your life even tho you say it wont.

I'm happy, you have to remember investing is my hobby. Like people buy ipads and cars, I buy stocks. I will continue to keep buying stocks, because it's what keeps my brain ticking. I will work a job and have money, plus these dividends grow a lot just from reinvestment and earnings growing. I honestly enjoy what I am doing, I know it's weird to be piling up money, but it's a big game to me.
interesting pm me tips please because i want to get involved but am not experienced at all and want to start from nothing so even when i am doing nothing, such as studying i can earn a wage to not be bored and wake up and deal with my stocks. ,aybe even stay up late and deal with it even tho it is stressing (my parents could wake me up etc). so yh private m me tips and stuff

I don't know if it's my biggest achievement, but it is the one I'm most proud of:

building a 1:400 scale model of the RMS Titanic.

You should look at dividend stocks then, companies which take a portion of their earnings and pay out to common stockholders as cash. You are being paid to hold stocks then essentially. Dividends grow with time because company earnings (good ones) grow with time, so in 20 years you can be earning more in dividends per year than what you originally invested. Reinvesting dividends compounds the growth further, as money starts pulling in more money. The compounding turns exponential the longer it occurs, so this is why ordinary people become millionaires after investing for a period of several decades.

I think I bought the kit from Amazon, you can get it from the website wonderlandmodels.com also.
