The caller is 17 and already maxing out his Roth IRA? Incredible.

[BagsNBaguettes_]

This kid is going places. Gives me hope for this new generation instead of fake eyelashes and Tik Tok.

[LittleMopeHead]

I wish I was this grown up kid when I was 17. Ahead of the game. Incredible!

[creature]

Great to hear about these brilliant kids now and again. I need one of these in between all the other questions and issues us adults have. Wish I had his head on my shoulders at his age. Good for him!

[Heritagepostfarms]

One piece of advice. Dont forget to live. I was like this kid and turned down several fun activities because I wanted to save money. After awhile I realized I was wasting my life just so I could retire earlier. Enjoy the journey...dont save so hard that you dont have any fun

If he meets a girl I hope the girl is bringing the same drive that he has. The young man has a great path in front of him.

[Darkone]

I WISH I was this kid when I was 17. Incredible to hear I hope the best for this kid. Amazing head on his shoulders

[robloxvids]

Does anyone else feel like 10 years from now this kid will be running a small business HVAC shop and worth over $500k?

[harrisonjoa]

Dave's ability to stay calm in every situation is fantastic.

[stevenporter]

Smart kid. Dave is right to say keep it liquid (not Roth IRA) until college is over.

[mbyrd]

I’m about to send this to my kids. I love posts like these.

[TheForexApostle]

This young man is a raging fireball! That's a lot of money! It's fantastic that you still offered him investment advice to help him safeguard his future. Kudos to you, guys!

[blackworldtraveler]

He is like my nieces and nephews starting Roth IRA 14.
Always work out there.

[zomblog]

this kid makes me hopeful for Americas future. We really need people who are excited to better their lives, and at the same time, more contribute to a better america overall. keep up the good work yungin

[nflpriorities]

I watched this as a compliment to myself I’m 16 and I don’t have it as good as him but it’s a similar situation

[gina]

This young man is off to a great start.

[williams-hvhg]

We need more people like this to be honest. $1, 500 isn't much, but it is something and a good start. Kudos to this young beast killing it in the game. There is no reason you should not succeed in America.

[masonblair]

Glad to see dave acknowledging index funds to the youth. Big understatement on the returns of vt vti vnq vug vht vftnx over something like American Funds.

[Rashaadthegr]

Stay focused. You will be a millionaire in np time.

[ruhhshelle]

The hosts look so freaking proud of this kid.
