Good for you! (I mean this sincerely).
Open a Roth IRA with a no-load mutual fund company. No-load means you are not paying a commission to someone to invest the money for you. Vanguard Funds are known as the leader of low-cost, no-load mutual funds. http://www.vanguard.com
You can invest up to 100% of the money you earn in an IRA. At your young age, you can invest in the riskier end of the stock spectrum, however, since the dot.com boom and bust (back when you were in 5th grade), the smaller companies haven't done as well as the big company stocks. So I would invest in something like an S&P 500 index fund -- the mutual fund company charges very low fees to manage this type of fund (should be less than 0.5% per year) -- if the smaller company funds start to do better I would switch to them while you are young.
You probably won't want to put all your money in an IRA. You can also open a regular account with a mutual fund company -- that will let you have access to your money without penalty.
I hope you do put some in an IRA. With the number of years you have until retirement, the compounding of your returns will (if everything goes well) result in a fantastic amount of money later on.
Good luck! |

Take a little time and try to define a plan for a few years into the future. Will you need this money in the future for something specific; ex. college, a car, etc.?
For investments it is usually better to invest for a longer time (5 years of interest is better than 4, etc.)
You could start a business. You could work with someone with experience and learn how to invest in the stock market. You could take any number of risks...
In all cases (in everything humanly possible) there is a risk/reward calculation; if something is more risky then the reward can be bigger (the loss can also be bigger). Life is a bit of a poker game in everything you choose to do... (or not to do) Good to learn this as soon as possible. |

I was just reading this article and then I saw your question. How you can become a Millionaire at the Age of 16 opening a Roth IRA. Just 4 years of putting 2,000 each year, will return you over a Million by the time you are 67. Check it out.
I would definitely open a Roth IRA. (because you are working). Your parents need to go with you because you are under 18, but I am sure they will be proud to take you! |

Hummmmm,, 16 you say? That's too young to start putting much into an IRA, it ties the money up for the next 41 1/2 years,, and at 16 that is forever.
You're gonna need a car,, money to go to college, so no long term investments. Safest is a CD at a bank,, earns around 5%. If you have time to research, you could invest some into a mutual fund, a no load fund, somewhere like Janus, or Vanguard, or T Rowe Price. You can research funds on yahoo finance web site. With $5K you don't need a financial adviser,, just a safe place to park the money until college.
Bank for no risk/no worry,, mutual fund for more risk more worry more return. good luck |

A money market account(parent/guardian needed), savings account, and even some checking accounts would be adequate; anything that pays good interest. If you really want to start saving up your retirement. then you can start by investing in a ROTH IRA. Since you are 16, you will need to have a parent or guardian co-sign for the account, and then when you turn 18 switch the account into your name. Starting at such an early age, will benefit you greatly. If you start now, and add the maximum amount each year, you could have a million or close to two in the account; which would be a nice retirement. This is depending on what and who your contract is with. Mind you that you will not be able to touch the money until you are in your late 50s or 60s. check out The Vanguard ROTH IRA. Another thing i can think of right now; go to your bank and ask them about investing in Cd's. I hope this helps you. |

If your not considering any major purchases in the future (car or college etc), talk to a certified financial planner. They will start a basic portfolio for you, probably with several mutual funds, bonds, and blue chips. It will probably give returns of about 6-8% per year, which adds up over time. Then as you get to know markets and finance, you might consider taking control of your own portfolio and "play" the markets yourself, possibly for much bigger returns. There's no such thing as "get rich quick", so don't fall for any ads and to good to be true investments. Talk to an experienced and reputable certified financial planner, they will know whats best! Start when you're young! |
