If you&#8217;re over 18, you can open an investment account on your own (we cover both below).<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-gray-700 leading-relaxed mb-6\">As a teenager, you have the ability to leverage a massive advantage called\u00a0<strong>compound returns<\/strong>. If you understand and utilize this concept now, you can become quite rich over your lifetime.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-gray-700 leading-relaxed mb-12\">Many teenagers mistake investing as a way to get rich quick.
