To Do List What Should I Do If I Don't Have Much Money to Invest?				> Back to Article
		Here's a quick list of items you should make sure to address when dealing with your question or concern.

			Set up an automatic direct deposit from your paycheck into a savings account or a retirement plan (or both). You won't even notice the missing dollars.
			Direct any unexpected cash straight into your investment accounts, so you won't have the temptation to spend it. It's like you're paying a bonus to yourself.
			Keep track of your spending for a month. Even if you don't stick to a strict budget, you should know where your money is going so you can try to find easy places to cut back.
