I just opened up a custodial account for my 13 year old. I've got 11k to invest. I've helped him save all his birthday/holiday money since he was born. Any investment suggestions?

Around the age of 8, I opened up a savings account and put his money in there because I didn't think better to invest it. Better late than never! He'll probably get access to it at 18, but I doubt he'll ask for it. Thank you very much.

Maybe DCA the 11k into a diversified all world etf or the s&p over 4-5 months then continue adding on your position from his birthday and holiday money then maybe when it’s time for university you can pay it in full for him, that’d give him a great head start with no debt.

An index fund?

But i still think is better to let the kid develop a saving habit and let him invest on his own.

When i was young, i see my bank book grow from few hundred to $1k+. I was so excited. Feel like a millionaire that time😆. Make me want to save more.

As a parent l, i would rather guide him to develop a saving, investing and hardworking habit rather than give him 1 lump sum.

Hello fellow investors. I'm a 25 year old expat. I have currently invested $90k in various robo advisors. I have $70k left in savings account. What would be the right way to invest $50k of my savings?

My hubby and I will get a home in a year. Our renovation budget is $50,000. We are saving $4,000/month. Instead of keeping the money in a savings account, how should we invest it even for just a year?

I am 22 yo this year. After working 1+ years, I've managed to save up about $10k. Planning to do my degree next year & thought of investing, but I might need that money to pay for a part of the school fees next year. Hope to receive some advice.?
