Hi Money Minder,
I’m currently a student in Eastern Europe working for a tech company and I have a fair amount of money saved. I wonder what do you guys think I should do with my money? I have less then 10k into savings so investing in real estate is not an optional. I was thinking to invest in the stock market, invest in S&P long term. Is it a good time or should I keep money in the bank?

Hello There,
Congratulations on having a fair amount of money saved up while working for a tech company in Eastern Europe. It’s great that you are thinking about how to best utilize your savings. Given that you have less than $10,000 in savings and real estate investing is not currently an option, looking into investing in the stock market, specifically in the S&P for the long term, seems like a practical choice.
Investing in the stock market can potentially offer higher returns compared to leaving your money in a traditional savings account. However, it’s important to remember that investing in the stock market comes with its own set of risks. The stock market can be volatile, and there is no guarantee of returns. If you decide to go this route, it’s crucial to do thorough research, consider diversifying your investments, and possibly seek advice from a financial advisor to make informed decisions.
Alternatively, you may also want to consider setting up an emergency fund with a portion of your savings kept in a high-yield savings account. This fund can act as a safety net in case of unexpected expenses or emergencies.
In the end, the decision on what to do with your money ultimately depends on your financial goals, risk tolerance, and personal circumstances. It’s a good idea to weigh your options carefully and make an informed decision. Best of luck with your financial endeavors from THE MONEY MINDER!
