As soon as you see that your savings are good enough to start investing, consider the following:
1. Set clear goals. Decide what you want to achieve, retirement, buying a house, education, and others. This helps you determine your investment strategy.
2. Build an emergency fund. Before investing, make sure you have enough savings, usually 3-6 months’ expenses for unexpected situations. You cannot just withdraw your invested money, especially if you choose the long=term investment; therefore, you must have a sufficient emergency fund.
3. Learn the basics. This means you have to understand different investment options like stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETFs, and real estate.
4. Choose the right platform. This means you open an investment account through a brokerage, bank, or investment app.
5. Start small. It is always the advice we hear that once we invest, we have to start small. Begin with an amount you are comfortable with. Many platforms allow starting with low sums.
6. Diversify. This means you have to spread your investments across different assets to reduce risk.
7. Stay consistent. This means to say that you have to make investing a habit -regular contributions help grow your portfolio over time.
8. Monitor but don’t panic. This means that you have to keep track of your investments but avoid making emotional decisions based on short-term market changes.
