Its never good to save money unless you are looking forward to invest that money on other things. Everything that isnt invested is waste, life is all about making some money and investing it to make even more money.
Agree. You need to both save and invest to help establish your financial future. If you only save your money, it will remain static without potential for growth. However, if you invest it into something that would give you nice returns over the long term (like real estate) then your money would grow, paving the way towards your financial success.
By combining both methods, as well as making the right decisions over your investment, your success would be guaranteed for years to come. Also, it is nice to donate some of your spare money to a charity, as well as to building your retirement fund for the future.
If you take the right path by spending less than what you earn, then you would gain control of your financial life. Always seek advice from a financial expert, and make your own research about a specific project or company that you would invest into, to stay safe and minimize the risks. Just my opinion.
