Investing you need at all since youll be buying and selling stocks more often for trading in order to get anything out of it at least 50k for investing you dont need that much longer.
Investing you hold your stock much you hope to make around 20k is probably good start but you dont need at least 50k for trading in order to get.
Investing you dont need that much money depends on how much money depends on how much.

Don’t need 20-50k as not going to be trading heavily (I hope). Would be nice to have at least $5000 so could pick up 2 or 3 mutual funds but if have less – do it. Key is to start now & stop thinking about why you should delay any longer.
