FIFO Worker Seeking Advice on Starting Trading and Saving for a Home
Investing Strategy
I’m a 29-year-old working FIFO and earning a decent income, and I’m just stepping into the world of trading and investing. I’m looking for practical strategies on how to get started with trading while also saving up to enter the housing market in the next couple of years. Basically, I’d like to know the best steps for someone in my position to balance building a trading portfolio and setting aside funds for a home deposit. Any insights into effective saving plans, starter trading strategies, and how to juggle both goals would be really appreciated. Thanks for your help! Cheers, Cale

I’m no financial advisor, so take this with a grain of salt; but I am in a similar position, saving for a house while also wanting to invest.
I’ve found that by utilising the auto invest feature to transfer $125 a week to pearler and the investment frequency recommended by the Pearler calculator has worked for me to invest regularly over the long term and after a year or so I’ve become accustomed to living without that money.
