You have to save money before you can invest it. And before you can save money, you need to have income. There's a certain order to things.

1. Get money
2. Save money
3. Invest money

People worry about investing when they don't have any money to invest. People worry about saving when they have no income to save from. First you have to focus on #1, the part of generating income. That's where most people go wrong, they start thinking about saving and investing, but they have no income. I didn't figure this out for a long time time either! Now most of my time and effort is spent on #1: how can I earn more money.
