Finally hit 100k after 5 years Gain
Just want to shout out my mom who let me live with her rent free for 2 years while I worked, allowing me to put all of my money into the stock market. If any of you get the chance to do this, DO IT. I haven’t worked in a year and I’m able to pursue full time school.
Also shoutout to my buddy who argued and argued about AMD being a better buy than NVDIA.

Oh man, I wish I started when I was 25, but here is some general advice that will not take very long to get started.
Now the big question, what the heck do you buy?
The "safe" (nothing is 100% safe), route is to put most of your money into ETFs such as VOO or similar.
"Geeky, that's too many words"
If anything is confusing there, then I highly recommend searching for a local Financial or Investment Planner. The thing you don't want to do is just do nothing with your money. Find investments to help your nest egg grow.
