Start Investing With Little Money

I want to start investing but I don't know where to begin and I'm scared of losing money.

Amount I can invest monthly: [£AMOUNT]
Age: [AGE]
Existing savings: [£AMOUNT OR NONE]
Risk comfort: [I panic at any loss / some loss is ok / I can handle volatility]
Investment goal: [retirement / house / general wealth building]

Give me a beginner investment plan:
1. **Where to start** — the right account type for my goal (ISA, pension, general)
2. **What to invest in** — a specific, simple portfolio for a beginner with my risk level
3. **How much risk to take** given my age and goal
4. **The investing mistakes beginners make** — what to avoid
5. **How to automate it** so I don't have to think about it
6. **When to review and rebalance** — a simple annual checklist
