    Good for you! There are a couple of places to start. One is to pick up a copy of the magazine called Money. It’s about personal investing and has scenarios that may match yours. Also, there is a very good book called Investing for Dummies by Eric Tyson for about $15. It’s written simply and you can just read the parts that interest you. You need to understand your risk tolerance and how agressive you want to be. Since you’re just starting out, pick a mutual fund that has great diversity and is ranked well by Morningstar. You can search for mutual funds on Yahoo! Finance mutual fund screener. I have no relationship to Money magazine, Yahoo, Amazon or Eric Tyson. Best of luck to you!

    Come and take my course: FNSR 3350 Securities Analysis.

    Of course you should probably be in the Greater Vancouver area of British Columbia (Canada).

    Colleges are good? If you can be disciplined the public library is a great place. Trial and Error are good teachers(I would recommend a friends club where everyone puts in a little money a week and as a group you decide how to invest it).
    If you have money to invest now. Get a financial planer. Then decide which way you want to go. Once you feel confident you can get rid of the financial planer and go it alone
