I've also always been fascinated by different types and ages of liquor a. I'm going to attended the bartending classes to pull out my license when I turn 21 in July.

I was a bartender for years at an upscale bistro/grill, if you have any questions I might be able to help somewhat. I never did any classes, just learned on the job.

Work, Gym, Trail running, I worked in a running store for almost a year so got big into that, but mostly right now is work unfortunately. Getting ready for my 4th move in just over a year. I also fade in and out of playing games, right now it's been play once every 2-3 months. Then also investing, stocks, etc...

I play way too much golf. If I shoot a 75, I'm pissed. Never had a handicap established officially though.

We kind of got screwed, we missed the tech boom and also missed the low commodity prices. If I had a time machine, I'd go back 15 years and buy ALL THE SILVER AND GOLD haha. Oh and that Google stock I heard something about

Wonder if moving up north will hurt the golf game with the insanely cold and long winters. |

I've known a few bartenders that have met some really important people in their time. That's pretty awesome when you think about it. Oh and you Matt are a lucky son of a gun for knowing that guy Quote:
So many missed opportunities. I was young so I can't blame my self haha. Maybe as a bartender I can get to know some people that will come in handy for investing haha

For a safe bet I love Vanguard Mutual Funds, their Dividend fund closely matches the S&P which usually beats the market overall, as well as their Windsor II fund if well balanced, plus you can't beat their expense ratios. You'll win and lose, I've had stocks go down 99% which I still hold since it's pointless to sell at this level, but I've also tripled money on a stock, recently I owned Power One (PWER) bought at $4, it was recently bought out for 6.50 a share. Sell when it's high, buy when it's low, I bought into Nike at a low point and have made almost 25% in just over a month. Now I don't have hundreds of thousands so it may appear miniscule but it's all a percentages game. I would love to do day trading once I safely have 10,000 in capital purely for that. Quote:
Mutual funds offer less risk but less reward, stocks are higher risk but high reward so keep it diversified. At most of our ages you can afford to be risky (within reason), but also save up for retirement, Lifetime funds which you put in your retirement year are great because the advisors shift the holdings less risky as you get closer. Unless you're lucky enough to have a matching retirement portfolio, then certainly do that first, me since I don't put money into my Roth.
