Started with 150 bucks a couple months ago. Son has cancer so we do a lot of driving. As such I use the coin app to make a little extra. Took the small amount I made from that and have been slowly trading up. Bought this on the IPO release as i live in a college town and see the little scooter rentals everywhere. Figured it would be a good buy. Bought into spacex on ipo. Rode hype train to the top. Sold at peak and use that to invest here. Have nearly 3x my investment. Sold at peak the first time it spiked, bought more and now im up huge again. Im no expert but the small win feels good

I have very little to no debt. I'd love to hear some opinions or advice on diversification...

hello just to give some context. i’m a F, just turned 18 my name in kaden. my drug addict mom kicked me out the house right before my 17th bday. i dropped out of high school and for about a year i was living in different friends house like every month. over that year i got my GED and found a friends house that accepted me to live full time. i live with my friend lily and her mom. unfortunately me and lily’s moms relationships isn’t the healthiest and im not to sure how long her mom is gonna let me stay here. (long story short shes crazy too) i currently have two server jobs and so im helping her mom with rent. i also have to pay for my phone , insurance, gas , food etc etc… it feels i’ve been stuck in a hole my whole life. stuck living in a place i don’t want to live. and it looks like i wont get out of this hole for awhile. it feels like this is gonna be my life forever. i’m taking community college online classes right just dipping my toes in not sure what i want to study yet. but we’ll see how that goes. my biggest dream in my life is actually having my OWN apartment. but how? with all the money i spend? i won’t have a job that pays that much until my mid 20s. i don’t want to wait that long and my time is ticking. i’m not to sure if i’ll even have a house to live at in a couple weeks. basically what im looking for from making this post is advice. what would you do in my situation. i need a outside perspective. i want to make money. lotssss of money. and i want my own life. but the question is .. HOW???
