I am only 25 currently and I was wondering about some suggestions for investing for the short term (5-10 years) and for retirement. I really want to start up a photography business within the next year to year and a half and was wanting some quick investing tips for getting a jump start on it. I could put about $200-$400 a month away in investments right now. In 6 months that may change with my job (possibly more in about 6 months, raise time :) ). We already invest in a Roth IRA right now. Wanting to invest more for the future. Tips and Tricks greatly appreciated.
