it will double with 18% interest in four years.  Lots of ways to do it, none are guaranteed.  Try paper trading in the futures market for a while and see if you have a knack for it.  That's a good way actually, as long as you aren't a gambler type and you keep your goals realistic.

The answer is easy:  Whatever you did to earn the $100, do twice that the next month.  The next month, do twice as much as that month.\n\nThe only way to escalate earnings that fast is to WORK TWICE AS HARD each month as the previous month.  However, if you do this, you will become wealthy.

There's a saying in Texas, and it goes like this:\n\nIf you want to double your money really fast, fold it and put it in your pocket.\n\nThanks for the url.

I would get a short term degree or go through some type of certification process. Real Estate is a good example, quick and easy to get into and you can make as much money as someone with a four year degree.

Well, first invest them wisely.  Then wait forty years.  Then opt to take them out rather than roll them over into another account.  Then take you and Laney to Las Vegas and have some fun...

You can choose to roll it over for another 12 or 24 months. I believe the interest rates are better this year too, or you can draw it out. I don't think at your age there is any penalty.

you can open an online savings account with an interest rate of 4.75 with citibank, or 4.65 with hsbc or emigrantdirect, it's a little lower than one year cds but you can get your money right away without penalty\n\nhave enough money in this account (about 3 months worth of expenses in case you lost your job) and the rest in cds

The time needed to double your money depends on the interest rate.  Currently you can get 5% or 6% some places on CD's.  At 5%, it would take 14 1/2 years to double your money.  To double in 5 years, you'd have to find an interest rate of 15% - you're not going to find that today on safe investments like gov bonds or bank CD's.

First, pay off any and all of your debts leftover from it. Second, treat yourself to something nice. If you don't want to and/or have many leftover after that, third, you can put that money into a high-interest bearing CD for 2 or 3 years yielding 4 or 5%. I would normally suggest a mutual fund with moderate risk (60% stocks/40% bonds) but the way the markets are right now, it may be a mistake. If you want a promising return, put the money into a IRA and either invest in mutual funds or individual stocks. Some good mutual funds right now are probably International Stocks/Bonds, US Bonds, Money Market Funds, and Balanced funds (containing bonds and equities).

Buy a diversified series of mutual funds. Individual stocks are just way too risky in most cases, especially for novice investors, even if they look like a sure thing.  How are Enron and Worldcom doing right now?\n\nMake sure you hit all the assets classes, like Large cap stocks, small/mid cap stocks, international stocks, emerging markets stocks, government debt, corporate debt, hi-yield debt, foreign debt, emerging markets debt, real estate, commodities, and precious metals. That's 12 categories right there, so let's say you get started with with $1200, you're talking about $100 each. \n\nThen sit back and rebalance each year, back to your original percentages. This is called asset allocation. The thinking being, what's BEEN hot is more than likely not going to STAY hot. All markets, after all, are cyclical.  This is why people who invest their 401(k) by just putting in whatever's had the most recent best numbers never get anywhere--they're investig in something that DID will and IS probably NOT doing well.\n\nThis sort of portfolio should average 8-12% per year, so just split the difference and say 10%. Will it do 10% EVERY year? Of course not. I'd be surprised if it ever did EXACTLY 10%. That's an annual average. With that average, your money should double roughly every 7 years. \nSo, in 7 years you should have about $2,000\nin 14 years you should have about $4,000\nin 21 years you should have about $8,000\nin 28 years you should have about $16,000\nin 35 years you should have about $32,000\nin 42 years you should have about $64,000\nin 49 years you should have about $128,000\nin 56 years you should have about $256,000\nin 63 years you should have about $512,000\nin 70 years you should have about $1,024,000!\n\nOf course, if you keep adding money in, say $100 a month, you'll become a millionaire MUCH sooner. The key is discipline, and sticking in when markets are up OR down. Don't try to time the market--you'll NEVER get it right.\n\nHere's a handy formula:\n\n$100/month x 12% retutn x 20 years = $100,000.  \n\nSo if you invest $300 a month, you can expect to have $300,000 or so in 20 years, depending on what return you get.  And remember, even if you stop there, that money itself will double again in 7-10 years, depending.  Then double again.  Then double again.  You get the idea.\n\nIn short, you can make a HELL of a lot of money, with a small output on your part, if you do it right, and are patient.\n\nOh, and if you qualify, and do this all in a Roth IRA? Then every penny will be 100% TAX-FREE. That's a deal that's too good to pass up. That's why I tell all my under-30 clients--if you make under $90,000, and therefore qualify to do a Roth, you'd be a fool not to. Just having the power of youth (and therefore time) on your side is such an advantage, to squander it would be such a waste!\n\nHope this helps!\n--J.\n\nP.S. The previous answerer's advice about contacting Edward Jones is gold.  I would go to their website at www.edwardjones.com, enter your zip code, and find the closest office to you.  Chances are there's one within 10 miles.  They have 10,000 office in the US, UK, and Canada.  And they will take care of you right if you decide you don't want to go it alone.

Yes you could but it would not provide much benefit if you were going to use the money within one year of starting the fund.  Most of these plans grow tax free and you would have very little growth in that time frame.

Keep it and make a habit of saving as much as you can afford or the maximum allowed.  Do so by investing through 401K Roth IRA or something else.  To have $500 in four years would not carry you through a comfortable living when you retire however young you are now.\n\nBy the way, to have grown to $500 out of $90 in four years is a huge return!  That kind of return beats 99.5% of all professional money managers.

I would buy an investment property or two, then put the rest in some type of money market fund earning an average of 10% or more. The Rule of 72 states that any money invested @ 10% will double every 7 years.\n\nIf you used 100k of that 400k, on down payments on one or two investment properties to create you some month to month cash flow, and build long term equity. Then the other 300k in a fund, in seven years you'll have 600k, 14years 1.2mil, 21years 2.4mil; geez your retired good for you!!

the rule says that\n\nif the interest rate is x %, then your investment would approximately double in 72/x years.\n\nfor example, if the interest rate is 9%, it would take approximately 8 years to double the value of your initial investment.\n\nThis rule is more accurate if the interest rate is small. You might prove it mathematically. It's very easy to prove it.
