25 y/o, holding a full time job and going to study part time soon this year (~25K total with bank loan). I only have 29K in my bank (parked all @ SSBEC). Usually after all the expenditure and my insurance, I have $800 left. I will dump $700 into my SSBEC cos of my uni fees (payable after my whole uni is over (no interest rate))

Now Im not sure if i should start investing due to my uni.
