Seeing my friend's side hustle succeed got me curious about investing.

How do I start with just a few dollars a week?

That coffee swap idea from @keith264 is funny, my friend did something similar by skipping one takeout meal a week! Makes those few dollars feel pretty painless to set aside.

Actually, comparing investing to a side hustle is a bit off. Investing is for LONG-TERM growth, not instant results. You can use micro investing apps to put small amounts into ETFs each week. Just pick ones with low fees so your money actually grows.

My buddy traded his daily coffee for ETF shares.
