First time posting.
I work two jobs, make a decent amount (appx. 30k annually) and am looking at investing.
How should I go about this as a beginner?
I want to have a family someday and I want to be able to provide a comfortable living for my wife and kids. Working at cafes for the rest of my life does not fit into this plan.
I've thought about going to college but at this point getting a degree doesn't really seem to be worth the debt.
Tl;dr any advice to someone that wants to make more money, ideally through investing
Bump senpai

Also, you retard, college is worth it. 40k tops for a state school comp sci or engineering degree, make 50-60k right off the bat when you graduate

I guess chuck a little bit every month in to saving for IRA contributions. Once you get it in, pick broad ETF's that follow indices.
The low returns early on can be depressing, but trying to multiply it with riskier stuff is generally a bad idea.
Rent a safety Deposit box, buy valuable metals and other materials, not stocks. Stocks and bonds are worth squat. Don't take my word. Instead of looking at what to invest in, look up what not to invest in.

College opens the doors to the most straightforward ways to make the kind of income you want though. Like someone else already said, major in engineering or a health profession and crush your grades and internships and you'll be head and shoulders better off than you are now.

Burger here.
Coming from a poor family and being forced to live on my own from 17, the amount that I'm making right now is comfortable by my standards.

Oh, right. Never mind. I'm thinking aud, which equates to like 21k usd.
Carry on.
