First Time Investors How Much Money Should You Invest?

Many first time investors think that they should invest all of their savings.

This isn’t necessarily true.

To determine how much money you should invest, you must first determine how much you actually can afford to invest, and what your financial goals are.


First, let’s take a look at how much money you can currently afford to invest.

Do you have savings that you can use?

If so, great!

However, you don’t want to cut yourself short when you tie your money up in an investment.

What were your savings originally for?

It is important to keep three to six months of living expenses in a readily accessible savings account – don’t invest that money!

Don’t invest any money that you may need to lay your hands on in a hurry in the future.
