Automatically deduct 20% of your net income on pay date into a savings account. Returns in the early days won't be great. + 4% introductory offers are available. Assuming saving $250 / week or 1k per month that will be over 2 years of saving. In those 2 years I strongly recommend you learn what you need to know. Like what to do in a losing position, what to do in a winning position, how much to allocate to each position, what universe of stocks you wish to become very knowledgeable in and trade, macro market knowledge, when (in line with your analysis) to be in the market and when to sit out of the market.
In each of those factors are many threads of importance. Don't let your experience be an expensive one.
