Pay off your debt
The first step would be to pay off the debt. Investing is pointless if a person has lots of debts. If you have debt, you should pay it off first, then start investing, particularly if you are planning to invest in riskier assets such as stocks.

Have a clear investment goal

You should know how much return you can expect in 5-10 years if you invest a certain amount of money each month. What will you do with the corpus once you exit from an investment at the end of the investment period? What taxes will you need to pay?
Many people make the mistake of being over-ambitious. However, You can get great results by taking baby steps in the beginning if you are consistent and patient.
Make a calculation of how much you can save for investments every month comfortably. After taking into account your emergency fund requirements, you should make sure that you invest the remaining money.
