I have a pet goldfish. My favorite color is orange. I just broke up with my boyfriend. I am 18. I am single. My credit isn't good or bad.  I am trying to be approved for a home loan. I am not invested in volatile investments. My fish is named Nemo. My favorite movie is Nemo.
I am rich. I eat off golden plates. My favorite color is green. I bought Bitcoin for fun.  I am nervous about buying Bitcoin.  I did not buy Bitcoin as a main investment. I made my money investing in real estate. I don't have a goldfish. I have only had one pet, a cat.
I taught Nemo a trick! If he learns a few maybe people will pay to see him perform. I didn't realize you could teach fish tricks .I would like to see it. What kind of trick is it? Nemo can twirl and do somersaults!  He is very food motivated. That is amazing! I would never attempt to train a fish. I haven't even tried to train my cat, and she isn't stuck in a bowl lol. What else can you teach him? I don't know if I have taught him, but when I approach the bowl with food, Nemo blows bubbles, almost like he is trying to talk.  It's quite amazing. I should come by sometime and check that out. Have you thought any more about maybe investing?  I have, but am worried about losing money.  Any thoughts?  Right now I have some money earning 25 basis points in an online bank account. I would advise that if you do decide to do it, only put in what you are ok with losing. I am so nervous every time I check mine, and I am regretting putting in so much. If I had started smaller, maybe it would be more fun. I am thinking of perhaps just doing an S&P500 index ETF.  I believe I can start with as little as $100 and do $50 additional each month.  Do you think that makes sense for a risk averse investor like me? As long as you could stand to lose it, then yeah. It would be perfect. I was told a bit late to only invest what you can afford to spend.  That is good advice.  For me, that would mean don't risk losing my goldfish! Yeah exactly. But I have almost doubled my investment. I did see it dip really low twice though and so now I am nervous it will go down and not back up.
