Compounding interest is a powerful tool. With the current climate of lower interest offered by bank, it will be wise to start your investment plan early.

I think you should go read up slightly on ETFs and REITs if your risk appetite is higher to make use of your $20k to generate better returns for the future and achieving your goal at an earlier age.
