Over one year ago, I published the blog post Money Statistics That May Scare You. In case you missed it, here is a refresher:
68% of people live paycheck to paycheck.
26% have no emergency savings.
The median amount saved for retirement is less than $60,000.
The average household has $7,283 in credit card debt.
The average student loan debt is $32,264.
Since then, I have come across other money statistics that have surprised me.
I do a lot of research as a personal finance writer. I come across money statistics that surprise me, make me sad, and some that make me worried.
The money statistics in this blog post might surprise you, but I want you to be aware of them so that you can be better than “normal.”
However, I do want to note that even if you are doing better than the average person, you can still improve even more.
You should always strive to do your best as sometimes “average” is not good enough for you to live a financially successful life. Keep in mind that the average person is not the greatest with money, and many are wrecked with stress and hardship due to their unfortunate financial situation.
Below are some other money statistics that will hopefully whip you into financial shape. Enjoy!
Annually, an average of $220 per person is spent on the lottery.
In 2014, more than $70 BILLION was spent on the lottery. That’s around $220 per person, including children!
However, in states such as Rhode Island, it’s way above $220, at nearly $800 per person spent on the lottery on an annual basis.
That is a ton of money spent on the lottery.
40% of food is wasted.
This is a crazy statistic.
Just think about it: What if you spent $100 on food each time you went to the grocery store, but when you got home from the grocery store you immediately threw away $40 of it.
That’s pretty much what is happening here.
The average person who takes out a new car loan takes out $27,000.
Plus, the average used car loan is almost $18,000.
To add to all of this, the people with the largest car loans actually had the worst credit scores.
One last car loan statistic, the average monthly payment for a new car loan is $471 and $352 for a used car loan.
The average person wastes their gym membership.
If you have a gym membership, I highly recommend that you figure out whether or not it is worthwhile. According to Statistic Brain, the average monthly cost of a gym membership is $58. Yet, 67% of people never use their gym memberships.
That is a ton of wasted money.
The average student loan debt is approximately $30,000.
Plus, according to US News:
Only 41% of college students graduate in four years.
The three-year student loan default rate is 15% for recent graduates.
Borrowers older than 60 owe $43 billion in student loan debt.
These are some crazy money statistics.
Learn more about how I paid off my student loan debt at How I Paid Off $40,000 In Student Loan Debt.
Women are 27% more likely than men to have no retirement savings.
I found this statistic on Go Banking Rates.
To change this money statistic, please read The Smart Woman’s Guide To Investing Success. Here’s a quick snippet from that blog post:
“Women face different obstacles than men do when it comes to investing in the stock market. Right off the bat, they tend to have less in savings because women often take time off to raise children. With years of not earning a salary, there is no money being saved and compounded upon.
In addition to this, women typically outlive men by close to 10 years on average. Therefore, it is important as a woman to invest in the stock market.”
What money statistics surprised you? How do you compare?
A common misbelief is that one must be rich to invest. It’s easy to invest with little money in a variety of assets and save for your goals. More platforms let you “micro invest” and purchase small amounts of expensive assets.
Even if you only invest a few dollars each month, that money can start building wealth.
Consistently investing small amounts can be more effective than waiting to accumulate a lump sum because you can earn compound interest.
Some people may never invest because they don’t think they have enough money.

Best Ways to Start Investing with Little Money
It’s possible to invest as little as $5 at a time and diversify your portfolio. As your financial situation improves, you can increase your monthly investments and try more ideas.
1. Invest in Index Funds
Investing in index funds can be the best option to start investing small amounts of money.
First, index funds let you invest in hundreds of companies with a single investment to quickly diversify your portfolio and minimize risk.
Second, most index funds have low investing fees and expense ratios. For example, a fund with a 0.03% expense ratio costs 30 cents in annual fees.
Most brokers don’t charge trade commissions to buy or sell index funds. Paying fewer fees means you can invest more cash.
Some of the types of index funds you can invest in include:
US stocks
International stocks
Emerging markets
Corporate bonds
Government bonds
Real estate investment trusts (REITs)
The various online stock brokers offer stock and bond index exchange-traded funds (ETFs). These funds trade like individual stocks. The share price fluctuates during the market day and you can buy shares at any time.
Your 401k provider likely offers index mutual funds. The investing strategy is the same except the share price updates once a day after the stock market closes.
Most online brokers offer index funds and don’t charge any trade commissions. However, some can be easier to invest with when you have little money.
Minimum Investment: $5 (varies by broker)
Betterment
Using a robo-advisor like Betterment can be one of the easiest ways to invest in index funds. This fully-automated investing app automatically rebalances your portfolio to maintain your target asset allocation.
You can also enable tax-loss harvesting to minimize your taxable investment income by selling investment losses to offset your investment gains.
You will answer several questions about your age, investment goals and risk tolerance to recommend an investment portfolio of stock and bond index ETFs.
As you grow older, Betterment shifts your portfolio to a more conservative allocation.
Not having to manage your portfolio is one advantage of using a robo-advisor when you don’t have the time or desire to self-manage your investments.
Betterment also offers fractional investing so you can buy partial shares of funds to instantly diversify your portfolio.
Other brokers may require you to buy whole shares which makes buying multiple funds at once difficult if you have limited funds.
You can create a portfolio with $0 and start investing with a $10 initial deposit. The annual account fee for Betterment is 0.25% of your portfolio value.
Acorns
Another unique way to invest in index funds is by using Acorns. This micro-investing app invests your spare change by rounding up your debit and credit card purchases.
You can choose to invest in a premade portfolio of stocks and bonds with different risk levels.
Acorns buys fractional shares of index ETFs when with as little as $5. Taxable and retirement investment accounts are available along with an online checking account.
Monthly plan fees range between $1 and $5 per month.
2. Workplace Retirement Accounts
A workplace retirement account such as a 401k, 403b or a Thrift Savings Plan (TSP), this can be the best place to start investing with little money. See if your employer offers matching contributions. If so, invest enough each month to earn the full match and invest “free money.”
If your workplace doesn’t offer a retirement plan or matching contributions, you can open an individual retirement account (IRA). Most brokers offer IRAs with no account fees or minimum initial deposits. You have multiple investment options.
One perk of investing with a retirement account is the tax benefits. You only pay taxes once. Traditional contributions reduce your current annual income, grow tax-deferred and you pay income taxes when you make a withdrawal. Roth contributions require you to pay income taxes upfront but your withdrawals are tax-free.
Your workplace retirement account investment options can include:
Stock index mutual funds
Bond index mutual funds
Target date funds
Company stock
The investment options are different for each employer yet most plans offer target date funds. Choosing a target date fund that’s nearest to your planned retirement year can be a good option. The fund invests in stocks and bonds and adjusts to a conservative risk tolerance as retirement approaches.
If you only decide to invest in a target date fund, you won’t have to rebalance your asset allocation. However, you should monitor the target date fund performance. You may also decide to self-manage your portfolio by buying index funds to reduce your investment fees.
You can invest as little as $1 at a time into each fund. If you’re uncomfortable managing your own retirement account, Blooom can provide a free portfolio analysis and recommend a portfolio allocation.
Minimum investment: $1
3. Individual Stocks
After establishing an index fund portfolio, you may decide to buy stock in individual companies. There are many online brokers to choose from and most don’t charge account fees or trade commissions to buy or sell shares.
You may decide to buy dividend-paying stocks to earn consistent passive income. Another option is holding companies with strong growth potential that can beat the stock market but may not pay a dividend.
M1 Finance is one of the best free investing apps. You can buy fractional shares of stocks and ETFs with a minimum $25 investment. There are also premade ETF portfolios that can make it easier to diversify. As you invest new money, M1 rebalances your asset allocation.
The minimum initial deposit is $100 for taxable accounts and $500 for retirement accounts to start using M1 Finance.
You can also consider investing with Charles Schwab. You can buy fractional stock slices as small as $5 for many stocks and there are no trade fees or account minimums. But, you will need to self-manage your investment portfolio.
Minimum investment: $5
Tip: Using one of the top investment sites can make it easier to research stocks.
4. Crowdfunded Real Estate
Real estate is a longstanding way to earn passive income without relying on the stock market. However, owning investment properties is expensive and can be time-consuming.
Thanks to real estate crowdfunding, you can invest small amounts of money into commercial and multi-family real estate. These properties have multiple tenants and can provide a more stable income than a single-family rental property. A property manager screens the tenants, collects rent and makes repairs.
You can earn recurring dividends from monthly rent payments. It’s also possible to make money when a property sells for a higher value than the original purchase price.
DiversyFund is one of the best crowdfunding platforms. You can start investing as little as $500. The Growth REIT lets you invest in multifamily apartments across the United States.
One downside of crowdfunded real estate is the multi-year investment commitment. Most platforms require a five-year investment to avoid early redemption fees. As a tradeoff for the long-term commitment, you can earn annual returns that compete with the historical S&P 500 average return of 7% per year.
Minimum investment: $500
5. Small Business Bonds
The bond index funds you invest in hold corporate and government debt. Investing in small business bonds can help you earn a higher yield. Worthy Bonds yield 5% per year and let you invest as little as $10 at a time.
Each bond matures in 36 months but you can sell your position sooner with no early withdrawal penalty.
Read our Worthy Bonds review to learn more.
Minimum investment: $10
6. High-Yield Savings Accounts
It’s wise to keep cash that you need instant access to in a high-yield savings account. Banks are a low-risk way to earn passive income but your returns are not as high.
You might consider keeping your emergency fund in a high-yield savings account that doesn’t charge any account fees. Also, consider opening separate “sinking fund” accounts for various savings goals to avoid borrowing money. A savings account can also be a good place to park cash until you decide where to invest it and earn a higher potential return.
Ally Bank has a competitive interest rate for the high-yield savings account. There are no account fees or minimum balance requirements. The Surprise Savings booster tool can help you calculate a “safe-to-spend” amount and transfer your extra cash into savings.
Minimum investment: $1
7. Certificates of Deposit
Investing in stocks and bonds can provide higher investment returns but carry more risk. A bank certificate of deposit locks in a specific interest rate for the investment term. For example, a 12-month term CD has the same interest rate for the next 12 months.
Instead of keeping your free cash in an interest-bearing savings account, consider opening a bank CD with a similar or higher interest rate.
If the savings account interest rate drops, the CD can earn more interest until the CD matures. Most CDs have early redemption penalties if you withdraw the cash before the term ends. At the end of the term, you can redeem your CD balance penalty-free or renew the CD at the then-current term.
Some banks, including CIT Bank, offer no-penalty CDs. These CDs don’t charge an early withdrawal penalty but may offer lower yields than a term CD.
As bank interest rates are low, the passive income you earn from CDs can be lower than the inflation rate. But earning some interest income can be better than nothing.
Minimum investment: $100
8. Peer-to-Peer Investing
You earn income from savings accounts and bank CDs as the bank lends your money at a higher interest rate. Peer-to-peer lending platforms let you earn a higher rate as you lend directly to the borrower and bypass the bank.
Prosper lets you invest in crowdfunded personal loans with a three-year or five-year repayment term. Borrowers make monthly payments and you make money from the interest payment, minus a 1% service fee. The historical annual returns are between 3.5% and 7.6%.
You can lose money if the borrower defaults on the loan. To avoid losing money, Prosper lets you buy notes in $25 increments and recommends a $2,500 initial investment to properly diversify. You can invest in multiple loans to diversify your portfolio.
Prosper also assigns each borrower a risk rating and you can see basic credit profile details. There’s also an auto-invest feature that spreads your investment across multiple risk ratings. You might be able to easily diversify your portfolio by auto-investing and avoid investing in too many risky loans.
Minimum investment: $25
9. Physical Gold
Precious metals such as physical gold and silver are a popular alternative asset. Unless you invest in gold royalty stocks, you won’t earn dividend income. You make money by selling your precious metal investments above your purchase price.
Buying gold coins and bars can be one of the best ways to invest in gold. Physical gold is expensive and you may not be able to buy an entire ounce or gram at once.
Vaulted lets you buy fractional shares of physical gold bars. Your stash is held at the Royal Canadian Mint. Once your balance is high enough, you can request FedEx delivery to receive your physical gold. There is a 1.8% transaction fee to buy or sell and a 0.4% annual maintenance fee.
It’s also possible to invest in gold trust ETFs that trade on the stock market. Most investing apps let you trade these funds. The share price mimics the price of physical gold.
But most gold ETFs don’t offer physical delivery as the fund family owns the bullion.
Minimum investment: $10
10. Cryptocurrency
When you’re deciding what to invest in first, cryptocurrency probably isn’t going to be at the top of the list. After all, this digital asset is highly volatile and doesn’t earn interest.
Many people who buy crypto do so as an alternative to stocks and gold.
For example, you might buy cryptocurrency as a way to diversify once you hold a sufficient amount of stocks, index funds and gold.
The most popular cryptocurrency is Bitcoin. This cryptocoin has the best name recognition and more merchants accept it as payment instead of paper currency.
There are other “alt-coins” like Ethereum that can also be worth owning if you believe in the long-term potential of cryptocurrency.
It has been fairly difficult to buy cryptocurrency but more platforms are making it easy to buy cryptocurrency. PayPal and Square let you buy Bitcoin and use it to pay for purchases.
However, you won’t be able to move your Bitcoin balance off of their platform.
Another easy way to buy cryptocurrency is through an online broker like eToro. You can trade cryptocurrency futures after a minimum $50 initial deposit.
EToro also lets you copy the investment portfolios of experienced cryptocurrency investors which can improve your income potential.
A third way to buy cryptocurrency is using a digital currency exchange such as Coinbase. Buying directly from an exchange lets you own real Bitcoin and alt-coins. You can transfer them to a cryptocurrency wallet for added security from hackers.
No matter where you decide to buy cryptocurrency, you can buy fractional shares of Bitcoin and other coins. Investment minimums and transaction fees vary by platform.
Minimum investment: $2 (varies by platform)
11. Treasury Bonds
Most investors get exposure to government bonds by holding bond index funds in their brokerage account or 401k workplace retirement plan.
As bonds can be pricey and confusing to buy, bond funds make it easy to earn passive income.
You can have more control over which bonds you own by buying U.S. Treasury bonds. You can choose the maturity date. Each Treasury bond has a $100 minimum investment with a maturity date of up to 30 years.
It’s also possible to buy Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPs) as a hedge against future inflation.
Another option is purchasing Series I or Series EE Savings Bonds. Both types of savings bonds have a $25 minimum investment.
You can buy Treasury bonds from TreasuryDirect.
Minimum investment: $100 for Treasury notes and bonds ($25 for savings bonds)
12. Fine Wine
A long-term investing idea is owning fine wine. You can open a standard portfolio at Vinovest with a $1,000 minimum initial investment.
Vinovest automatically builds your wine portfolio making it easy to start if you’re unfamiliar with wine investing.
Each bottle in your portfolio remains in climate-controlled cellars across the world and is insured against damages. You decide when to sell your wine. It’s possible to request delivery if you want to open a bottle.
Collectible wine can increase in value as it ages and the scarcity of unopened bottles increases. Wine investing is like owning physical gold and doesn’t earn dividend income.
It can take up to 30 years to earn the best value before you sell a bottle.
Minimum investment: $1,000
13. Fine Art
Another unique investment option is investing in fine art. Masterworks lets you buy shares in classic and modern pieces with a $1,000 minimum investment.
The holding period for most pieces is between three and ten years. You earn a profit if the piece sells for a profit.
Due to the relatively high initial minimum investment and waiting years to earn income, you may invest small amounts of money in other ideas first to make money fast.
Minimum investments: $1,000
Summary
There are many ways to start investing little money today and earn recurring income. Many platforms have small minimum investments which make it easy to try several ideas and diversify your portfolio.
As you increase your income, you can boost your monthly investment.

People have different strategies for success, and the best way to succeed is by figuring out what works for you.
A strategy that might work well for one person may not be suitable or acceptable in another’s situation.
In this article, we’ll explore a few different strategies for success and how they can help you make money from home or on the job. In fact, many of them I implement to make money.
Idea #1: Savings Account
The best way to start investing is to open a savings account. For every $100 you deposit in a savings account, you will earn about a small amount of interest. This may not seem like a lot, but it can add up over time.
In reality, investing $100 into a savings account is a habit that will continue to lead to saving higher amounts of money. While you may not be able to make $1000 a day off your first 100 dollars, your efforts will multiply as your saving percentage increases.
In addition, many banks offer special promotions for new customers, such as a $500 bonus for signing up.
To get the most out of your savings account, be sure to shop around and compare rates at different banks. CIT Bank offers some of the highest interest rates available, so be sure to check them out!
Idea #2: Retirement Accounts (401k or Roth IRA)
Investing in your 401(k) is a great way to secure your financial future. Not only do you get matched contributions from your employer, but the tax benefits make it easy for employees to invest. Contributions are tax-free until retirement, so it’s a good place to put money while you’re working a side hustle or contract gig.
A solo 401(k) is a great way to take advantage of these benefits if you don’t have an employer.
In addition, investing in a Roth IRA is a smart idea as well.
Idea #3: Invest in Cryptocurrency
Cryptocurrencies are digital or virtual tokens that use cryptography to secure their transactions and control the creation of new units. Cryptocurrencies are decentralized, meaning they are not subject to government or financial institution control. Bitcoin, the first and most well-known cryptocurrency, was created in 2009.
Cryptocurrencies have experienced a wild ride over the past year! In the past five years, bitcoin prices have swung from a high of $68,000 in November 2021 to the lowest dip of $3236 in December 2018 (source). Many experts believe that crypto will be adopted widely in the future, and some predict that one Bitcoin will be worth $200,000 or more.
Investors can purchase a range of cryptocurrencies through reputable platforms such as Coinbase and Bitstamp. The most common crypto are Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and USDC (a stablecoin pegged 1:1 with USD).
Idea #4: Invest In The Stock Exchange
Like an active trader – either as a day trader or swing trader.
When you invest in the stock market, this is a way to make money on your investments.
In fact, you can make money fast in stocks. But, you need to have a solid trading plan first.
My favorite course is Trade and Travel with Teri Ijeoma. In fact, check out my Trade and travel review and begin your journey to making $1000 a day.
Idea #5: Peer-to-Peer Lending
If you’re looking for a solid investment opportunity, peer-to-peer lending may be a good option for you.
Peer-to-peer (P2P) lending service that connects borrowers and investors. Because it’s a peer-to-peer platform, it can be more profitable for the investor.
Both Lending Club and Prosper are examples of investment platforms in this space.
Idea #6: Become an Entrepreneur
There are many options for entrepreneurs to make money. You can start a restaurant, retail store, or offer your services for a fee.
Another great way to make money is by investing in something you’re passionate about. For example, if you love cars, you could open a car detailing business. This requires some planning and dedication but can be very rewarding.
As an entrepreneur, your goal is to invest in ways that have the potential to turn over $1000 per day.
Idea # 7: Invest in Yourself
When you think about it, the best investment you can make is in yourself.
If you have 100 to invest, find what you are missing and fill it with new knowledge. Learning never stops – it’s a continuous process that will help you grow as an individual and stay ahead of the competition.
This is one area where you have the possibility to make well beyond just $1000 a day.
In fact, many of the best millionaire quotes focus on investing in yourself.
Idea #8: Invest Money in Index Funds
Outside of retirement accounts, many people overlook investing in the stock market as an individual.
Index funds have been a popular choice for investment managers for many years. They are a type of mutual fund that tracks the movements of an index, such as the S&P 500 Index. Because these types of funds follow an index, they provide diversification and typically come with lower fees than actively managed funds.
For these reasons, investors may want to consider using index funds when building their taxable investment portfolio.
Idea #9: Enroll in a Course or Certification
There are many different courses and certifications you can take to improve your skills.
This “new skill” could help you transition into a different career. A “certification” might help you get promoted in your current position, or it might allow you to begin working in a new field.
Either way, you are investing $100 or more today to make 10x your money in the future. Consider what skill can be useful in your professional or personal life and invest in a course.
Idea #10: Clear Your Debt
Paying off debt is a guaranteed return on investment.
This may seem a little backward but hear me out…
If you add an additional $100 to paying off your debt consistently, that means you are that much closer to freeing up a huge amount of debt payments to go somewhere else.
In this case, your overall debt payment can be invested in other ways and you will quickly improve your rate of return.
Idea #11: Work As A Sales Person
Commission payments are a large part of income for salespeople. In fact, US News reports that the average sales professionals earn an average salary of $73,500 in 2020.
This is a competitive field, but it can be very rewarding for those who are driven to succeed.
You probably will have to invest in a business degree to make this career field worth it.
Idea #12: Write A Book
Books are a great way to make money. They are one of the few investments that can be made with the intent to generate passive income. In other words, you put in some work at the beginning and then receive payments over an extended period of time without having to do anything else.
Writing a good book is an easy way to make money in 2023. As an independent self-publisher, if your book sells 100 copies per day at $10 each, you will make $1000 on every copy sold.
Publishing companies can help pay an advance for your work and handhold you throughout the process. You might need skills beyond writing if you want your book published at one of the larger publishing companies.
If you are serious about becoming an author, it is best to go through a publishing company and have them edit your work for you. This will ensure that your book is high quality and likely to sell more copies.
Remember: publishing a book is not cheap! It takes a lot of hard work and dedication, but if done correctly it can be an excellent way to make 1000 dollars a day or more.
Idea #13: Become a Book Nerd to Build Skills
Investing in books is a way to improve your knowledge and increase productivity. It’s impossible to become an expert in every field, but it’s possible to become one by reading about them. Books can change the way you view life and give you fresh perspectives on how to handle finances, as well as other aspects of life.
An investment of $100 in 2023 would yield $1000 or more depending on the non-fiction niche books you choose.
So, what are you waiting for? Start reading!
Idea #14: Online Flipper
So you want to flip 100 bucks to 1000? Well, it’s not as hard as you might think. In fact, with a little bit of effort and some basic knowledge, you can turn that hundred into a thousand in no time at all! Here are a few tips to help get you started:
Find something to flip. This could be anything from furniture to clothes to electronics. Keep an eye out for items at local retailers that are on sale and look like they could be resold for more online.
Know your market. What is the average price for the item you’re looking to sell? Knowing this information ahead of time will help make sure that you don’t sell your product for too little (or worse, too much).
Have the proper tools ready before starting your flipping business. This includes having a good camera or phone with which to take pictures of your products, a computer or laptop with which to list them online, and PayPal or another payment processing system set up and ready to go.
Be prepared for some work! Flipping isn’t always easy–you may have to spend time researching what items are selling for how much online, traveling long distances to find good deals or dealing with frustrating customers.
A great way to get started is to learn more from the Flea Market Flippers! They are very successful and teach others how to flip items
If you’re willing to put in the effort, flipping can be a great way to make some extra money on the side.
Idea #15: Invest in Real Estate
There are a number of great reasons to invest in real estate in 2023. In fact, real estate is one of the best investments for making money.
To start investing today, set aside a few hundred dollars each month and invest in real estate over time. This will help you build your wealth slowly and steadily.
Ways to Invest in Real Estate:
Rental Properties: Investing in rental properties can prove profitable with monthly renters and appreciation from rental income or capital gains as a property is worth increasing over time. However, rental properties require more upfront money and more work to maintain than other types of real estate investments.
