Do you worry about the world economy today?

Yes, I really do. I’ve often heard that grocery costs have been increasing around the world. In my country, the cost of rice, which is a staple food in Japan, has been gradually increasing for years now. I started to study about the investment recently, so that I will be able to live peacefully in the future.

I started to study about theing investment recently, so that I will be able to live peacefulcomfortably in the future.

There's nothing grammatically wrong with using "peacefully" here, but if you're describing a state of financial security (having enough wealth that you don't have to worry about money matters), we typically use the word "comfortably."

Thank you very much for your careful corrections.
I feel like I wrote it well overall this time.
It's still difficult to tell the difference between using "to verb" and "verb-ing". I guess it just takes getting used to it.

"I started studying investment recently" is okay too.

"I started studying" ✅
"I began to study" ✅ (though it sounds further in the past)
"I started to study" ❌

When we talk about a general area of knowledge, we usually don't say "the", e.g "I started learning skating", "I got into dark magic", "I'm interested in religion".
