After taking the leap of faith to start investing, I learned that the next poverty struggle was having the money to invest. I wasn't blessed with a decent amount of money in my life but no complaint there. I believe life comes to everyone as its supposed to but you gotta do what you can and capitalize on it. However, most people don't try to capitalize. I think of having "extra" money to invest like making time to do something. For example, a lot of us are like "I don't have time to work out" but in reality, we don't take the initiative to make time. Its the same with our money. We don't take the initiative to cut down on our spending to allocate that money to something a bit more productive than a savings account that doesn't really pay squat. We gotta cut down on one thing whether its a trip to taco bell and use those $5-$10 to start your portfolio.
I don't mind sharing that I started with investing in bitcoin (BTC) with $50 and slowly when I could, I would invest more. Some folks may not even have $50 and that is OKAY. My point in sharing this post is, you just need to get started. I know its rough when you've got bills to pay amongst other responsibilities but take $5 and put it into something that will make you money while you are asleep. Work smarter, not harder. Simply start whether it's $50, $10 or $5. The ability to attain wealth is (in my opinion) being a bit fearless in taking some risk and getting started.
Let's get started folks and lets go on this investing journey to wealth! I've got your backs! :)
