Do You Invest?

Question

I work as a devops engineer and I&rsquo;ve recently reached the point where I have money to do more than just pay my student debt off. Do you invest? If so how did you get started? Any book suggestions?

https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/ have compiled a huge wiki (top navigation) for all life situations.
If you're not in the US note the country specific subreddits in the right hand box on https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/wiki/investing
The recent "Ask HN: What are the best strategies for a new grad engineer to build wealth?" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22274207 might be relevant to your situation (it talks about Silicon Valley salaries, not everbody has those).

If you're in the U.S., your first investment should be to contribute to your 401(k) plan, if your company offers one. Especially if you get a company match from your employer.
