Basically, I'm dirt poor. My pay sucks and I'm practically unemployable outside of my shit-tier job. I think I want to eventually get a master's or a BA in Computer Science, but for the time being I have nothing.
From the way I see it, invoosters are the only people anyone gives a damn about and I can think of investing as a method to get some of my surplus value back in a socially acceptable way. If it wasn't obvious enough already, I am American and this country would rather collapse than see the 1% give back even a penny that they looted from the middle class. Even blue places would rather die than have more housing be built, and those lower the homelessness...I mean, the investor's value.
My first thing I want to check out is Webull but there is something about the app that feels sketchy, and I can't put my finger on it.
Okay porky, you win. If you like invoosters so much, I'll be one. Happy?
If you're looking to get started, I would avoid anything that has been incorporated more recently than like 2010, which includes Webull and stuff like Robinhood. I've had good results with TD Ameritrade, who don't charge for services, give you everything you need to get started, and can be linked with your existing bank account pretty easily to add/withdraw funds as needed.
That said, do not put any money in that you can't afford to lose, do not borrow money for the purposes of buying stocks, and frankly I wouldn't put any money in right now. The market's been trending down since like January which means it's a riskier bet than it normally is.
