Investing in Stocks With Little Money

Hello, Dinks. A lot of people believe that you need a lot of money to invest in stocks. That is not always the case. There are some inexpensive ways available that you can invest in stocks. Today, I want to go over a few of them.

Employer Retirement Plan

One of the easiest ways to invest small amounts of money is through your employer retirement plan. It’s pretty simple. All you have to do is enroll in the retirement plan. Once you enroll, you choose the amount that you want to invest. You can choose amounts from as high as 20% or more to as low as 1%. Each employer plan is different, so you will want to check with them. Since you’re investing in stocks with little money, my suggestion would be to start off at 2%. You can gradually increase that amount each year. With the contribution being so small in the beginning you probably won’t event miss that amount from your paycheck.

Mutual Funds

Mutual Funds are the next item on the list. They are a good place to invest in stocks with little money. They are an all inclusive option. One single mutual fund can give you access to several different investments. This is perfect for new investors.
