I still think it makes sense. You learn the feeling and also a few skills for investing, even if you don't necessarily make a lot of profit. You could also invest your "nest egg" in an S&P 500, for example, which usually increases your nest egg by €96 if you invest €100 per month. And THAT can then be invested in a good wine. Of course, you shouldn't necessarily invest in high-risk shares/ETFs/crypto, as you're not yet financially secure enough as a student.

@LioWick09 Let me repeat that briefly: You recommend students invest their nest egg in the S&P500 because it's almost certain to make a profit, which you can then use to buy good wine 😳?! Dafaq?
••
@DonkeyInvestor No, I was only referring to the statement above 😂 Of course, everyone can do as they please, but it was mentioned above that you could save the money to "treat yourself to something, a good wine, not always that cheap stuff". That's why.
••
@LioWick09 Without buying wine from the profit, the procedure is only marginally better 😉
••
Better than not gaining any experience at all, isn't it? Your argument for not investing as a student was that it's a treat. I'd say that's a good compromise, isn't it?
••
@LioWick09 You gain experience by treating yourself to something. For example, a great party or a great vacation.
You don't play with your nest egg, it should never be invested in the S&P500.
If you want to gain experience of how the stock market works, you can do that without real money.
The main message of this article was not "treat yourself as a student instead of investing". The main message was "don't worry and don't worry if you don't actually have anything to invest"

@DonkeyInvestor I agree with you. You should still find a balance between all-in partying and vacationing and all-in investing. In the end, everyone has to decide for themselves, it's their own money after all. Everyone has different priorities. Of course you don't have to stress if you don't have any money left to invest!
