As I turn 18 I'm enlisting in the Air Force, you will know that we get paid an ok salary (since I will be entering three pay grade levels than other airmen). My housing will be covered as well as food and uniforms. I will have my entire paycheck with the exception maybe a hundred, two hundred dollars in which I will use for myself and a single cell phone bill. I want to invest my money in stocks or somekind of legitmate high yield investment. I was told to invest in stock with GE. However, the return isn't that high you would have to invest over $20,000 grand to see a decent return. I was thinking of taking a couple hundred or even a thousand dollars of my pay check to put towards an investment is this too little or too much?
Does anyone have any ideas or advice?
What can I do to make sure I will have a little bit of money set aside (more than if I just saved money) in the future?
**REPOST**
No one really gave me an answer of substance, so I decided to repost this question.
