How Much Do I Need To Start Investing?

I get this question from time to time. But, it came up yesterday with a good friend of mine.

He really wants to get in the market but has this understanding in his head that he does not see the benefit of not

having enough to invest out of the gates.  It does not matter if you have $1 or $10,000 to start. You can always start by saving that $1 into savings

accounts to start to build wealth.  Then, get yourself on a plan to keep saving money on a monthly basis until you can get access to an Index Fund. Or, Mutual Fund.

The problem comes when you do not “take action” to start your game plan. Then time goes on and you find yourself in the same position years later.

“Saving is investing”. Do not get that confused. You are investing in your savings.
