Why You Need to Invest Regularly?

If you have $100-$200 you can buy 10K-20K stocks from a couple of companies, buy equity in a few business, or even buy real estate property and start generating passive income. However, if you do not have that kind of money, and you want to invest, you will have to invest regularly.

Regular investment means you invest every month, and you increase your investment every year. For example, you can start investing $100 very month, and every year you can increase your investment for $10-$20 dollar.

In order to invest regularly, you need to deduct 10-20 percent from your earnings and put it in stocks, ETF, Mutual Funds etc. Just like regular saving, you also need to invest regularly. If your earning is limited, you can allocate a small percentage for investment and saving at the same time. For example, you can save 10 percent of your income and invest 10 percent of your income.

Investing regularly is important for several reasons:

1. Compounding returns: By investing regularly, you can take advantage of compounding returns. This means that your investment gains generate additional gains, leading to exponential growth over time.

2. Dollar-cost averaging: Regular investments allow you to practice dollar-cost averaging. This strategy involves investing a fixed amount at regular intervals, regardless of market conditions. It helps smooth out the impact of market volatility and reduces the risk of making poor investment decisions based on short-term market fluctuations.

3. Building wealth: Regular investments can help you build long-term wealth. By consistently putting money into investments, you increase your chances of achieving your financial goals, such as retirement or buying a home.

4. Overcoming inertia: Regular investing helps overcome the inertia that often keeps people from starting. By making investing a habit, you are more likely to stay committed and continue growing your portfolio over time.

5. Risk management: Diversification is an important risk management strategy, and regular investing can help achieve it. By consistently investing across different asset classes and sectors, you spread your risk and reduce the impact of any single investment's performance on your overall portfolio.

Overall, investing regularly provides a disciplined approach to wealth creation, harnesses the power of compounding, and helps you stay focused on your long-term financial goals.

Just started getting into stocks myself. It is definitely a good thing to have some stocks in big companies. Especially when they can be bought cheap but pay off big long term.

It's important to build up wealth for a solid monetary foundation for the future.

It is absolutely correct that people can have different moods, so the price is constantly fluctuating and it is impossible to guess the best point for purchase, so you should always buy in small amounts. I also try to follow this rule.
