I need help how to save - and grow - my spare money, asap.

I have this paralyzing anxiety that I will lose my job and lose all my money and I need to start investing.

But I’m completely clueless.

I want to do serious investments.
How do I begin? Where do I go?

Is this the best idea? I'm a very big proponent of investing. But for people with strong anxiety, they often make the absolute worst decisions at the worst times and are better off with safer options.

That’s why I’m asking people without anxiety for guidance.

I think having extra cash lying around the house makes me anxious. I need it somewhere safe, where it can grow.

Perhaps a financial advisor you can work with?

I'm just nervous that you would panic and sell your investments at the worst times even if you invested wisely to begin with. Because every investment with better returns has some risk and goes up and down.

How much money are you talking about?
Is this in addition to 6 months of emergency funds?
