Bought a ton of TSLA when it split, like 115 shares, and held on to it, despite knowing it dropped insanely, but patience paid off. Made this in a single day: https://bit.ly/3gg3US1

I highly recommend that if you can, you put your money to work for you. This is just a rare occurrence, but as an investor of 10 years so far, just by putting about $5k into the stock market each year, into a few good stocks, whether technology, food, or something else -- do your research, and let your money make its own money.

You'll also want to maximize your 401k at least to your employer's contribution, but if you can go up to 10% or more, you'll be doing your older self a huge favor.

And if they ever get cryogenics working, freeze yourself for a thousand years. This will probably happen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JwkaLt9pf8

Even though by that time... with inflation and all that, you'll still break even.
