Save money out of each paycheck. Do it automatically. Even if the amount is small. Take a portion of each paycheck for investing. Take another portion of each paycheck to build up a cash reserve.
Many banks offer automatic deposits into your savings account. Set up an automatic deposit that transfers money to your savings account immediately after you receive each paycheck. Do not wait until the end of the month to see what is left. - 3). **Invest Wisely**
Learn how to invest. Invest in safe stocks, bonds and mutual funds. Take investing seriously. Do not invest in anything that you do not understand fully.
There are many online resources that will teach you how to invest for free. If you are unsure about an investment, leave your money in your savings account until you are ready to invest.
Set guidelines for yourself that you always follow. For example decide ahead of time the maximum amount of money that you will invest in any one investment. The amount may be $200 dollars or $2,000 dollars, you decide and stick to your plan. It is better to be diversified in investments than to lose everything in one bad investment. - 4). **Cash Reserves**
Keep a cash reserve on hand that is equivalent of six months of your salary. If you do not have that much money on hand, start saving it until you have reached your goal.
Building up your cash reserve does not stop you from investing. Just take have of what you will save each month and put it towards your cash reserve. Take the other half of your monthly savings and put it in a safe investment. - 5). **Find Support**
Find a mentor, support group or website that can help you with investing advice. You will need to have people available that you can ask questions.
