A 20-year-old university student sought advice on getting started with investing in the Dividends subreddit. Suggestions included starting with growth positions like the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) for younger investors. Long-term focus on dividend investing can lead to higher cash flow and retirement. Strategies like dividend aristocrats and Dogs of the Dow were also recommended but require research for good buying opportunities.
