Automatic savings tool. Set it and forget it. Develop a savings muscle just like at the gym. Tell the app how much you want to invest every week and in what investment. Also you can setup a multiplies or round up feature to save more.
I recommend a savings account that is not at your main bank. If you see the money there you might move it or use it. The FOMO. I should be enjoying that money ! No, best to have it somewhere else and forget about it. Have it automatically withdrawn so you get used to it. Soon enough you will have your emergency fund !
I recommend using a fee only financial planner. Someone you can get to know and trust. A person with a lifetime of experience in investing. Someone you can develop a friendly relationship with who will help you grow over time and keep you safe. It is time in the market NOT timing the market. Use a professional to help you out.
