I'm 18 and looking to invest in the s&p 500
I turned 18 just over a week ago, I'm from the UK and have roughly £7000 savings on a 1.04% aer intrest rate with hsbc wich is horrendous. I Instantly opened a t212 account and put some money in there, I'm looking to get into the world of investing and build long terms wealth with the s&p 500. However nowadays you see alot of the news about upcoming market crash and all that. I understand the "time in the market> timing the market" thing but is this a big thing to be worried about? Should I wait to put a larger amount of money in there or continue with my investing strategy of roughly £100 per week i know this isn't a question that can be answered easily and is probably quite stupid, just looking for some advice from someone that's been in the game for some time, thanks
