So there's this popular notion around me that the best time to invest is when you begin to earn something tangible or big enough to take out from and invest. This is a notion I don't agree with especially because of the experience I gained when I was earning so little from my previous job. As at then, the job could only cater for my feeding nd transportation but I still found a way to save up from my earnings to invest.
No one truly knows the future and we can only speculate what might happen. In my opinion, to wait until when we get a better job that pays a fat salary before investing isn't the wisest thing to do. We would be risking our future that way and we would most likely regret it. Since the earning from thr job isn't so much, what we invest would obviously not be much as well, but could help secure our future.
For example, imagine if someone earned $30 a month in 2008 which is way too small, and was lucky enough to have invested just $1 a month for a year in Bitcoin. If he does this for only two years, he would be worth millions of dollars today. Yeah, thr amount he invested was also quite small but it gives an opportunity that would be entirely absent if he didn't invest.
As our earnings keep increasing and there's progress in our jobs, we can increase what we invest, rather than wait till we hit some jackpot before investing. The point is to keep building regardless of the season and situation. It's way more beneficial than procrastinating and waiting for the best time to start Investing.
