How Much Should You Actually Be Investing?

If you’re new to investing, one question comes up again and again: “How much should I actually be investing?” Should it be $100 a month? 10% of your paycheck? 20%? Or even more? In this episode of The Infinite Income Podcast, George Mayfield (The Dividend Doctor) and Autumn Bennett break down one of the most common questions beginner investors struggle with. Instead of focusing on a perfect percentage, they explain why consistency matters far more than the starting amount. You'll learn how small monthly contributions can grow into significant wealth over time, how automation makes investing easier, and why increasing your investments as your income grows can dramatically accelerate your financial future. They also share a powerful bonus strategy for turning raises and promotions into long-term wealth without sacrificing lifestyle. If you're just getting started on your investing journey, this episode will help you simplify the process and focus on what really matters. Sometimes the hardest part of investing is simply knowing where to begin. This episode will help you take that first step.
