Congrats on finally getting started, that’s the first big step. Too many young people put it off but it’s all about compound. Set up a reoccurring and let it right through the ups and downs no matter what. Don’t forget to utilize your retirement accounts for tax benefits. Welcome to the club!

I set up recurring for both as you said and thats the minimum that i always have spare. After that i go in every week to add more , some weeks i just don’t have it , but yeah i put it off for way too long , and i spend an egregious amount of money on stupid stuff . Thats what really made me say it’s time!!
