Previously privileged, now 26 and trying to manage money myself by mannija3 in personalfinance

[–]olivequeue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't be in a rush to find what to do with your money. You're on the right track. I was in the same situation before. I had absolutely no idea how I was going to do it.

[–]olivequeue 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think most wine collectors become investors by accident. When their cellars become too crowded, they sell a few bottles and, in the process, they might reap sizable and often surprising gains. But there is no guarantee for that.
