How can a 19 year old turn 55k into 100k before 21?

I save about $1000 a month from my job.. Assuming I stay at my job, in two years I'd save an additional $24,000, totaling $79,000. Still not enough! How can I double this in 2 years?

For those wondering, I saved money from working as well as trading options. I've calmed down on options trading recently since I reached a 7% gain after being negative 40% and currently sticking to purchasing shares and holding for the long term. (Currently have $19k invested).

Tips? Advice?

    You are asking for too much. You may as well take your money to the casino for the rate of return that you're expecting.

    Calling you out here. Nineteen year old's do not save $1,000 a month from a job-unless that money comes from a Trust Fund. And if that is the case, then your parents will have already set up accounts with a Financial Planner to make sure you don't spend it. 

    In terms of Doubling it in 2 years? Yeah...not likely. Better off waiting till you hit 21, and go to Vegas and place it on red or black.

    You cannot count on that much without taking excessive risk. Options.... lol.

    Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man how to trade options and he and his whole family will starve to death.
