Am really interested in getting a side income.

Currently working on a full time job overseas in Europe. Normal paycheck - about 4-5k per month (converted to sgd).

0 investments: i have a few fixed savings bonds paying couple of %s (here in european banks). I only understand stock markets as something you hold long term, like >5 years, and Im not sure how much you can even get after 5 years say if you invest 5k in a well performing stock...and dividend paying stocks, do they break even from broker fees and etc?

Right now just saving...very conservative, very cash rich but almost no returns. Not sure if i want to invest in a property and try to get rental income...

Feel like starting somewhere - for those in similar circumstances, any advice?
