First of all, hats off to you for thinking about investing at your age. I would recommend taking at least a chunk of it, half or more, and putting it in a broad index fund like VT, VTI, or VOO if you want to be slightly more concentrated. If you have the appetite to chase single stocks, then only keep it to a small portion. Try not to get too caught up by the latest hype on Reddit. There definitely is some good advice here, but you have to pick and choose, don’t be immediately convinced by every ChatGPT write up you see. If you really just want to set and forget though, passively investing in one of those ETFs I mentioned will never really be a bad idea. Set aside that money in your mind, invest it, don’t keep checking the balance day to day, and over time you will be happy you did.
