Hi all. This is my first post so i would like to introduce my self. My name is chris and I am currently in my second year of college. I will be working part time in the school year as a private contractor taking care of peoples animals while they are away. I like this job because I can pick my hours and well, all I do is feed and walk animals. I'll be making an average of 1,500 a month doing this and will have about an extra 1,100-1,300 a month I can use for savings. I currently have about 5000 saved and wont need much money for the next year or two until I move out. Also my only expenses right now are food, gas, and entertainemnt; everything else is from parents ( I know I got lucky there). I think that should be enought back round info.

Right now I am putting my savings in Emigrantdirect but I was wonderng what other type of investments should I allocate my money to? should I start putting money away for retirement at only age 19?I have a 401K with Fidelity and has no money in it, It was created for me at my last job. Any feedback would be great.
