is it a good idea to try to get into stocks if so how does it work and how much money should you start out wit

Answer 1

if you dont know much about investing, i would really reccommend starting in mutual funds, or even etf's, you wont have enough money to diversify well in single stocks, in a fund you can let it grow and let a professional pick the stocks for you

you can do that while you learn about the stock market

try not to think of the stock market as a get rich quick scheme, invest in a stock fund and do it regularly, the easiest way to get wealthy, just not fast

Answer 2

In order to begin investing in the stock market, first you need to set up a brokerage account. You need to have an account with a company that actually has a seat on the stock exchange in order to buy and sell stock. Depending on the brokerage, they may have different initial investment requirements, the initial amount you need to deposit with the brokerage before you can start trading.
