Put it in savings, get a part time job that doesn’t sap your brain, and study up on forex trading. I’m almost exactly where you’re at, except I don’t have the money you do. By getting the part time job, you’re disciplining yourself to follow a schedule, and you’re maintaining a minimal level of income that can support you while you learn. There’s no shame in being a gas station attendant or shelf stocker if its part of a larger plan.
Don’t touch your savings! Learn how to trade Forex first. Read up as much as you possibly can, until you’re sick of it, then take a week off, and start demo trading. Familiarize yourself with the software you’re going to use. MetaTrader is the most commonly used trading platform, so it’s probably a good idea to use that. Check out OANDA. Easy to get set up, unlimited demo accounts, and by all reports, it’s a good company.
Once you’re ready to start trading, you’ll know how much you want to start with, and how much you’re going to earn. Don’t jump in with both feet without being absolutely certain of what you’re doing. You have the opportunity of a lifetime here.
Do NOT allow someone else to invest your money for you, without being absolutely certain of what they’re doing and what strategy they’re using. This includes the millions of EA “bots” that are out there.
Be cautious, because Forex is risky. Be paranoid, because there are a bunch of asshats out there who want your money. Learn money management, and learn how to read the markets, and you’ll be a millionaire.
There are no shortcuts.
None.
You’re either a trader or a gambler, and gamblers always lose. If you’re going to be a trader, you have to put in the work to learn the system, and that will take time. Time will cause your money to shrink unless you’re supplementing it with other income.
Work out a plan with your dad, and prepare for a whole lot of boring study and demo trading before you’re ready to start. Get input from as many sources as possible. You’re definitely in the right place to start learning!
