Hi all,
The title pretty much says it all.
I have no prior knowledge of investing beside a couple youtube videos and this sub but I know it's not great to just sit on the cash since I'm losing out on making money through interest, right?
I don't want to be an active investor so it sounds like Roth IRA/S&P 500 Index fund is a common suggestion. What's your recommendation, does it matter who it's with? Can I download an app and set up direct deposits? Good things to know before investing?
What would you do in my situation? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Also....stupid question probably but I'm a US citizen but there's a high probability that I will move overseas in the future. Does that effect my ability to invest/rates?
Not sure if relevant but I'm also changing careers (head hunter/recruiter in Japan to golf instructor in US) and my salary is going from 70K base to 25K-30K for an entry level job, so I won't be able to save like before for at least 3 years until I get proper certifications. Even then my base salary will most likely be around 40K.
