Some may urge you to start early due to the power of compounding. While this is true, equip yourself with knowledge first. Learn more about investment through talking with experienced investors and get their advice on various investments tools. Be sensitive to the fees that are involved with investing as well, as fees compound too! You may experience an information overload, but don't let that lead to decision paralysis.

​

At the same time, place your money in safer options e.g. multiplier accounts and ssb to earn interest above 0.05%. Let your money work for you while you are off learning about investments~

Honestly, you'd want to invest it in instruments that will help you 1) attain specific goals and 2) breed discipline ( illiquid, regular savings plan type).

​

For someone who doesn't have a high amount of liabilities to pay off, you can devote as much of your salary to investing after covering your essentials (insurance, emergency fund) and you'd ideally invest in riskier, higher yielding funds while you're still young, before transitioning into more stable fixed income as you get older.

​

I'd love to help you with that, if you'd like, as my specialty is in investments. In the previous year, I yielded over 32% overall on equities net of fees.
