What's a good way for a student to make some money off lets say a thousand dollars worth of savings?

Answer 1

You could buy a good used riding mower and a new weed-eater and start mowing yards. Learn about flowers and fertilizers. Soon people may ask about you putting in a flower bed. Just stay motivated and buy equipment as needed. Soon you will have a Landscaping Business and can hire people to work for you.

Answer 2

Right now your best investment would be in an online savings account such as Emigrant Direct or HSBC. They generally offer the best rates and are similar to a CD. These are relatively safe and provide a minimal return. The markets are all poor investments right now and as long as we're "at War" they will be. Once there's a new president the markets will improve, hopefully.

Answer 3

I'm not clear about your question.
Are you talking about investing the $1,000?
Are you talking about using the $1,000 to earn money like buying a lawn mower and other equipment and doing lawn care, or some other business or service?

Also the answer depends on your age.
Are you a student under age 18, or over 18 and in or going to be in college?

Answer 4

Hoe about get a job and spend less than you make. If you make 100.00 put 90.00 in an interest bearing savings account.
A good rule of thumb is to spend less than you make.......
Write a budget, skip fast food, and stay at home with mom as long as you can.
