How much money do you actually need to start

I see a lot of beginners fall into one of two traps:

1. They think they need $10K+ before they can even start

2. They try to start with $300-$500 and wonder why it feels impossible

My honest answer is somewhere in the middle.

You don't need to be rich to get the ball rolling, but Amazon FBA is not dropshipping. You need money for inventory, software, shipping, mistakes, and enough product testing that one bad buy doesn't wipe you out.

In the video I break down:

- The realistic starting budget for Amazon FBA Canada

- Why $500 is usually too tight

- Why $1K-$3K is a better beginner range

- How fast capital gets tied up in inventory

- What software costs to expect

- How much inventory you need before talking about $10K/month sales

If you're starting with a small budget, the answer is not to rush. It's to buy tighter, spread risk, protect your cash, and learn the process before trying to scale.
