How much did you have when you first started investing? I am 23 and want to start investing so I have a good amount later in life. Wondering what's a good gauge?

Back than? $8k to trade the minimum amount to maximize the trading fee. Today? $1 is sufficient given the Roboadvisor route. Biggest returns on money? Business and personal income. Investment results only came significantly when the portfolio grew to a comfortable mid 6 figure size. Anything less, you will be better off focusing on your own personal income growth. And for a very long time, you will be better off saving like mad from a personal income level first than trying to outearn your spending habits from investments.

I have $40k when 23, still in uni. Pure part-timing. Never start invest till 30+.... to increase your net worth the most important factor is still increase income, then invest, my opinon.

Starting late, have a bigger capital VS start early small capital. Actually is the same.

I start investing because i almost maximised 24hr for the side hustle. That is the limit of exchange time with money

I first started when I was 19 in 2018, (BMT days), started off with 5k. My full portfolio can be seen here.

Back then at 23 I only have 2k
