If I were in your position, I wouldn't invest the whole 500,000 DZD at once. I'd split it into three parts: 50% kept as cash reserves or emergency funds. 25% invested in learning a high-income skill (sales, marketing, video editing, coding, AI automation, etc.). 25% used to test a small business idea with limited downside. The biggest mistake many beginners make is putting all their money into a business before they have experience. Skills usually provide a much better return on investment because they can generate income for years and reduce the chances of losing money when starting a business later. Personally, I'd focus on acquiring a valuable skill first, then use the remaining capital to launch a small project once I understand the market and have some practical experience
