The stock market carries a lot of risk in the short term. When your younger those risks carry a lot less weight. The stock market is an amazing tool to invest in to save money for retirement. The risks for the long term stock market investor get smaller the longer your in it.

When you start early it is a lot easier to turn a huge profit for a small amount of money. See the example of investing into Google and now what it is today.
