Hello, I’m an 18 year old highschool student and am going off to college next year. As of right now, with my part time job I invest around 400~500 a month into my portfolio. I just recently started investing about 3 months ago. My problem though is figuring out what my goals are for investing. Currently I have around 1000 in my Roth, and around 500 in individual stocks. It’s very hard for me to determine though which I would like to prioritize when I do go to put money into my portfolio. On one hand I want to invest to be able to help my payoff for college quickly or have spare money to buy a house after I graduate or a car. Basically just living a very comfortable 20s/30s. The other part of me hears countless advice on putting money into retirement early. To have more wealth when you do reach retirement. So I would like advice from people who have experience. Should I invest to be able to payoff some things in my 20s/30s such as college or a house, or prioritize retirement. If it helps I plan on going to 4 year in state college for accounting. Thanks!
