I've been dumping small amounts of money into individual stocks for a few years now. (Took $10k from my parents instead of a car in college, bought Apple, and used it to buy my first car)

Now, my wife and I put money into our Robinhood account with each paycheck and whenever we have extra money. We have a decent portion in Apple with average price under $100, so we've done pretty well there so far, but the rest is just a hodgepodge of different companies that we've been interested in. Overall, we're up 32% in 3 years, so so far so good.

I like this much more than mutual funds and such. We've started to put money into a custodial account at Schwab for our daughter that is mostly mutual fund based but still has some individual Apple shares as well.

No more Twitter. It's Mastodon now.
