Thanks for all of the advice. It is very helpful. My boyfriend actually day-trades and is very financially savvy so I think he'll be the perfect person to help me start investing. I would definitely not want a second job, my first job is quite challenging and stressful at times.. I do sales for an aerospace engineering company and some of our customers are 1/2 way across the globe so sometimes I'll have to stay until 9pm to get something completed.
But I do agree with getting a hobby! I'm thinking of getting tennis or golf lessons in the spring, that way I can get outdoors and use some of my spare time. I'm getting paid tomorrow so I think when I'm in the bank I'll set up some automatic transfers from my checking to saving.
Thanks for all of the advice!!!
