If you have no savings and just want to invest somewhere based on your income, it will never be easy for you, the main reason is that you can't invest more than you want at once, after which from small investment the incoming profit will not motivate you much to move forward.  In the second case, if you invest your only capital somewhere, you will not have anything to support your family at any moment and as a result, you may be forced to make very bad decisions at an excepted upcoming good time and there is a possibility of loss rather than profit.
