Before investing, define your short-term and long-term goals. Are you saving for retirement, a home, or building wealth?
Consider index funds or ETFs to diversify your investment with lower risk than individual stocks.
Read books, take online courses, and follow credible financial sources to understand investing basics.
Decide how much you can invest monthly without affecting your emergency fund or essentials.
Track your investments regularly and adjust your portfolio as needed to align with your goals.
Starting with simple, informed steps can help beginners invest safely and build wealth steadily over time.
