What to do before investing?

[Starmix]

It is fantastic if you are thinking about investing in your future. It can seem overwhelming at first with so many options, but taking it step by step makes it much more manageable. Before diving into specific investment strategies, focus on building a solid foundation.

First, have an emergency fund. This is your priority. Aim for 3-6 months' worth of living expenses in a readily accessible account, like a high-yield savings account. This safety net protects you from having to sell investments during a downturn to cover unexpected expenses.

Next, pay down high-interest debt. High-interest debt like credit cards, or personal loans eats away at your potential returns. Prioritize paying this down before aggressively investing. Every dollar you pay off is like earning a risk-free return equal to the interest rate.

Further, educate yourself. There are tons of free resources available online. Start with simple concepts like asset allocation, risk tolerance, and different investment types.

Furthermore, start small and consistently. You don’t need a huge sum to begin. Even small regular contributions will grow significantly over time due to the power of compounding. Consider setting up automatic transfers to your investment account.

Moreover, investing is a journey, not a race. By focusing on these foundational steps, you will be well-prepared to make informed decisions when you are ready to begin investing.

Before investing, you should understand your own risk appetite. Make sure you have enough reserve funds on hand so that if the market is down, you do not have to rush selling your stock. You should also do thorough research on the investment products you are interested in.
