Of course! The hardest part is usually just getting started, so there's no need to overcomplicate.

For those also saying "well look at this rich person with money to invest over here," you can also read this stuff and be a step or two ahead when you do get to invest, because one of the first things it explains is prioritizing where to put money. Fill up one level before moving on to the next, but by reading ahead, you know what to do when you get there so you are prepared.

Money for us non-uber rich folk works best with time, so the sooner you get in the game, the more success you should have overall. They call this "getting rich slowly" which doesn't sound exciting, but that's the point. Most people don't want to be on an emotional roller coaster with their money, they'd rather be on a lazy river ride that gets then where they want to be.
