As a young adult just hitting the workforce, you may have realised just how hard it is to save for a house. Although many people see a house as the holy grail of investing, there are other options.

Not to mention, as you are still young, you can take on more risks and build a good foundation for wealth in the future. So, here are three good investments you can start.

Financial Assets

The stock market has returned more than real estate over the decades. Having your own stocks and shares ISA or learning about financial assets is a great start to building wealth.

You do not need a massive down payment, and you have easier access to your money. So, take time to learn about stocks and start investing to allow for wealth generation.

Business

As you are still young, you probably have a little more free time than those with families. As a result, you can use the time to start a little side hustle and begin to grow it into your later years.

Not all businesses require a tonne of money to start. However, many do require a lot of effort. So, if you are up for the challenge, investing your time to start something may be a good investment.
