The journey of success is slowly but sure, so the earlier you start the better for you. What you invest doesn't matter what matters is the effort you put in growing what you have at hand for it to generate or yield a positive results. Money can easily be lost in investment if the investor doesn't know how to manage and minimise the risk factors, it is very crucial to stay optimistic and continue acquiring knowledge that will enhance your understanding, skills and experience.
You're right, it doesn't matter how much we are putting in our investment, consistency matters. Just as the white man said that " consistency is a game changer" but some folks don't know the meaning. It is not about starting big even majority of those investors who started big, some of them has put thier Investment on hold, maybe due to the fact that they are unable to get enough discretionary income to go big forgetting that they can still adopt the DCA no matter what.
I always give this advice "never to start what you can't finish" but start the one you can finish, and for you to achieve that you have to start small, after that you need to be consistent in doing it.
