Question

I have come up with $200 U.S. and I want to know the smartest way to spend it. My goals include making money and getting smarter. Maybe someone knows of any magazine subcriptions I should subcribe to. If you know of any good way I can spend my money productively, I would be glad to hear it.

Answer 1

You asked two different questions: what do I invest in; what should I spend it on.  So tell us which one you want us to answer.

Answer 2

Go to a library and borrow books on investing and small business.  That is free, and for the time being, put your money in a Money Market fund while you are doing your homework.
