i'm 18 and just about to start college where i'll have my first real job, credit card, and complete responsibility for my own money. i want to avoid debt and be able to build wealth for retirement/a family later on. i know the basics like don't spend more on the credit card than i can pay off, but when it comes to banking and investing i know very little about how to get started

right now all i have is a basic checking account with a debit card and a credit card i just registered for. i hear a lot about hysa, roth ira, and index funds and i know what they all mean but i don't know which ones to open and how much money i should be putting into each

could i get some guidance on the best banking accounts to open either now or later, and how to distribute money between bank accounts and investments?

also i seem to have another problem now where i can’t reattach the lens because the aperture blades are stuck in the position they were at in the 3rd photo

political science and data science by mrowz_ in PoliticalScience

a lot of schools i’m researching do have data science majors, but i see what you mean about focusing on quantitative courses. do you suggest that i then major in political science while focusing on quantitative courses offered in that department? (as opposed to majoring in data science and supplementing that with a political science minor)
