is 50 a month even worth investing or should I just wait until I can do more?

Genuine beginner question. I'm 23, first proper job, rent is high, and after building a small emergency cushion I can only spare about 50 EUR monthly for now. Feels almost embarrassing when I read big-number posts.

Did any of you start that small?

Worth it for behavior alone, yes. Just be smart about fees so they don't eat the contribution.

People posting giant monthly buys are not the audience you should measure yourself against.

Started with the equivalent of 60 in the Philippines. Tiny start, huge psychological shift.
