What investment advice would you give to a 21 year old University student with <$10k savings?

As you are still young, you can start to do regular saving plan either in local ETF or global ETF, do it for 20 years and you will thank yourself. Nowadays the cost to access global ETF is relatively cheaper via robo advisor or broker like FSMOne.

Hi Anon, be patient! Your money will come. Do set up your emergency funds first by growing your active income. Take part time jobs, teach tuition etc. and save all these money. Do well in your studies also and ask yourself what do your want to do in future, build your knowledge towards that through all the soft skills you'll learn in uni.

In the mean time, learn more about personal finance and investment by reading books and from Seedly. You are doing good with 10k savings don't worry! Take your time but not importantly learn!
