Find avenues to grow your cashflow first. That would be the fastest way.

$800 a month is enough to save, however if you talk about exponential growth, you will be better served reading and learning more to prepare for opportunities that will come your way.

You can save $100-$200 every month, putting it into ETFs through dollar cost averaging schemes. A reliable platform would be DBS Investsaver, helps you to invest a fixed sum of money every month into your preferred ETF. Eg. STI ETF, ABF Bond ETF. Abit more stable since you're also new to investing, yet a good start to your investment portfolio.

Here are some ideas (maybe then not suited to your situation, but maybe yes)

but invest regulary, reduce fees to the minimum, doubt advice from 'expert' financial pros,

stay course

Since you are in army and have no further use for the money, you can put the money in singapore savings bond or an index fund to allow it to grow.
