I am a fresh graduate at 27 which is very old. I am trained in the sciences and have little training in monetary investments. Now I realized if I don't get started now, I would possibly end up very poor or even broke in old age. May I know how do I get started? I searched around online but there are too many investment companies e.g. phillipscapital, optionxpress. Read books by adam khoo too but is abit confused about all the stuffs on investments stocks, ETF, index funds.

My goal is to continue my career in research science and will be taking a passive approach on investments, hopefully to get 5-7% returns per annum. I wonder what could be the best way to get started? Thank you.
But Larry, you are a fresh grad. First, you have to settle things like getting married, buying a property, having kids and all those things that we old men have already done.

Then you save some money (which you do not need on a rainy day) and then you invest.
