College students are often perceived as being broke. Recent data shows that 43.5 million Americans have chosen to get a student loan to cover their essential and non-essential needs. But college can be an excellent time to begin investing.
Investing does not impose an age limit. Even better, it does not set a minimum amount, and you can start for as low as $5. And since building assets will take time, the earlier you start investing, the better.
Investing as a college student will give you real-world money experience to sharpen your skills. This approach will allow you to become an expert once you graduate. Also, losing money will be less risky since the amount invested is much smaller. But most importantly, investing early can help generate higher payouts in the future.
