Hey Chris,
I definitely don’t think you’re too young to start investing, under the condition that you’ve done your homework. I’ve just turned 20 recently and I’ve been thinking of making a better future for myself for many years but only started taking it seriously the last 6 months. I’m also a full-time student with a casual job and in my spare time I try to educate myself as much as possible with real estate by reading forums like these and steve’s books. I’ve also listened to a lot of Robert Kiyosaki audio tapes to try get the right mind-set before i start undertaking any detailed education in investing, whether it be property inv. or shares etc. At the moment I have a hard time saving for a deposit but I should be starting my full-time job in a couple of years and by then I should have adequate knowledge readily applicable.

I don’t think anyone can ever be too young to start, the sooner the better I say but maturity and having the right mind-set is essential. So I suggest not to rush into things, get educated and have a look around to become familiar with the real estate market while trying to save a deposit.That way, no time is wasted and you’d can properly invest as long as you’ve saved enough funds. Just keep it up dude, I’m glad to see that I’m not the only one at my age thinking about this.

Peter.
