I’ve graduated high school at 15 by getting a certificate of proficiency.
Right now I live with my sibling and single parent, who is the sole source of income.
Since I live in CA, having the certificate allows me to work with no permit and adult hours.
I plan on working for the next 6 months as much as I can to save up my money, that way I can go to CC in the Fall. Then I plan on switching to part-time so I still have money flowing into some sort of savings/investing.
I’m thinking about putting the money into SP500 (Fidelity Youth) or a HYSA (Parent’s Name).
My only worry is that I’m a dependent of my parent so they may cancel the health insurance since I may be out of the income bracket.
If anyone has good advice or suggestions please reply!
