There are many beginning options however none will work if you do not modify your life style to optimise your savings. Most people waste a very large portion of their income on wants as opposed to needs. Most people also do not recognise what a want actually is.

If you begin now to live frugally you will establish a strong long term strategy for successful investing.

You need to save money to be a investor, pay off all bad debt and fully understand the value of cash for investing. 

Step one is downsize your life style and find a way to save every penny. Set a goal initially of paying off all debt, stop using credit, save an additional $500/month minimum.
