A thousand dollars may not seem like much in the grand scheme of things, but don't knock the power of the money you invest. Even $1,000 is a fantastic start in building long-term financial flexibility. In this day and age, there are ample investment options. It's wonderful to have so many choices, but deciding on a direction might be overwhelming. Here are seven investment options to help you get started:

1. Start (or add to) a savings account

With the best savings account interest rates around 3% but inflation running hot, putting money into a savings or money market account may not seem like a smart investment. However, millions of households don't have adequate funds for an emergency. If you're in that boat, a savings account is a great place to start. Here's why putting money into basic savings is a great investment: Rainy days are inevitable. While predicting life's twists and turns -- and when they'll occur -- is impossible, being prepared with some cash on the sidelines will always help to cushion the blow. And if it keeps you from borrowing money at high interest, like via a credit card, then the small return from the savings account was well worth it. Strive to have at least three to six months' worth of cash stashed. Keeping some cash in CDs (certificates of deposit) or in Series I savings bonds can also bolster a rainy day savings stockpile. The interest rates can often be a bit higher than a basic savings account, although the tradeoff is that they aren’t as easy to access if you need the money in a pinch.

2. Invest in a 401(k)

Who doesn't want a pay raise? While many are dissatisfied with their compensation, they may be overlooking an extra pay perk their employer offers: A matching 401(k) or similar company-sponsored retirement plan account contribution. The mechanics are simple. If your company offers a match, the business will deposit the same amount as your contribution, usually up to a certain percentage of your gross salary. For example, if a company offers a 3% match, it will contribute $30 for every $1,000 of your paycheck -- usually only if you opt to add the same 3% of your pay to your 401(k) or similar retirement account. If your employer offers it, it's a quick and easy way to double your money -- not to mention a great way to save some dough since your contribution usually enters your account before taxes. But don't stop at the matching contribution. For 2022, most 401(k)s allow for $20,500 in total employee contributions (and an additional $6,500 if you're older than 50). If you have $1,000 to invest, check with your HR department or benefits specialist about how to set that money aside for retirement.

3. Invest in an IRA

If you don't have access to a work-sponsored retirement plan or your plan won't allow you to add extra money, you aren't out of luck. That's where individual retirement accounts (IRAs) come in. There is no company match with an IRA, but if you have earned income (through a job or self-employment), this option is worth considering. There are two basic types of IRAs: Traditional and Roth. A personal contribution to a traditional IRA is often tax-deductible and earnings are tax-deferred until they're withdrawn. A Roth IRA is an after-tax contribution, so it gets no deduction (although a tax credit is available for traditional and Roth IRA contributions). However, Roth contributions can be withdrawn penalty-free, earnings are tax-free, and the earnings can be withdrawn once you turn 59 1/2 as long as the account was established at least five years earlier. If you have $1,000, starting an IRA at an online brokerage is a great way to start working toward long-term wealth generation. For 2022, investors can deposit as much as $6,000 into an IRA -- and another $1,000 if they’re older than 50.
