Save VS Invest

[Phillip Gonzales]

Hello so I have a million questions lol I have not yet invested into my first property, but before starting out any pointers I should do? I have been reading and doing things before starting any investment. goal was to reach 4-6 months worth of savings for my own personal finances. I also started an account with a local credit union which I intend on using for investments. Should there be other accounts or "financial planning" I should do before starting out. I have a 401k with day job and just want to be as prepared before I start. As well I am 26 but the way I think I feel  46 lol any help would be APPRECIATED!
