This is Motley Fool Answers. I'm Alison Southwick, and I am joined, as always, by Robert Brokamp,

personal finance expert here at the Motley Fool and the advisor on The Motley Fool's Rule Your

Retirement Newsletter. Yes. Yes. That's me. On today's very St. Patty's Day episode, we're going to walk you through five steps that will lead to your very own patagoles.

If you guys couldn't notice, we started with the title of the show and then we had to work backwards to see how we could make this pun work.

The proverbial or maybe literal pile of gold at the end of your rainbow is attainable

and will show you how to set yourself up for success with some advice for goal setting.

We're also going to answer your question about getting started investing when you're

just a wee lad of 15. All that and more on this week's episode of Motley Fool Answers. Today's answers comes to us

from Kevin. Kevin writes, hi, my name's Kevin. I'm 15 years old and I just recently subscribe

to your rule breakers advice. I'd like to start by saying my mother and father know less than I

do about investing. As a mother, Kevin, I'd like to pause here and tell you that your parents know a lot more

about you over other stuff, so listen to them.

Kevin continues, I convince them to allow me to subscribe to Rule Breakers and open a

custodial account, but that's as far as I got. I'd like to keep it short and say that

I would greatly appreciate any extra advice

the Motley Fool could offer as I'm fairly young and naive, but I believe investing is the

right path for me. My main question being, where do I start for someone as young and uninformed

as I am? Thank you for your time. Sincerely a fool named Kevin. Kevin. Oh, Kevin, You made our day. You're so great. So Kevin, for today's answers answers, we asked David Kretzman to join us.

He's an analyst here at The Fool, but he's particularly well equipped to answer your question

because he started investing when he was 12.

12.

Wow.
