How do I start investing?

To start investing, follow these steps:
1. **Assess your finances**: Make sure you have an emergency fund, and you’re not in high-interest debt (like credit card debt). Only invest money that you don’t need in the short term.
2. **Set your financial goals**: Define your goals—whether it’s saving for retirement, buying a home, or building wealth for the future. This will help you determine your investment strategy.
3. **Choose your investment account**: You can open an account through a brokerage, robo-advisor, or retirement account (like an IRA or 401(k)).
4. **Select your investments**: Based on your risk tolerance and goals, select stocks, bonds, or mutual funds. Diversification is key to managing risk.
5. **Monitor and adjust**: Review your investments periodically to ensure they align with your goals and make adjustments if necessary.
