Hey everyone,
I’m currently 17 and will be turning 18 in a few months. I live in France. When I was younger, a member of my family passed away and left me their savings. Because of that, I currently have more than €200,000 available, but I’m not really sure what the best way to manage or invest it is.
My main goal is to secure my future and build long-term wealth rather than take big risks. I’m still young and trying to learn as much as possible about finance and investing before making any major decisions.
I don’t think I want to focus on trading or highly speculative investments. I’m also not planning to put a large percentage into cryptocurrency, although I might allocate a small portion to it.
Since many people here seem knowledgeable about self-improvement and financial strategy, I’d really appreciate advice on what a good approach would be at my age. For example:
- What types of investments should I look into for long-term growth?
- How should someone my age structure or allocate this kind of money
- Are there things I should absolutely avoid?
Most of my family is financially struggling and lives in a fairly precarious situation, so I don’t really have anyone around me who understands finance or investing. Because of that, I’m trying to learn as much as I can on my own before making any big decisions.
Any advice or resources would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
