No one can deny that there are quite a lot of benefits that can be felt by saving at a young age, but what we also have to realize is that not everyone has the opportunity to do that at a young age, perhaps due to environmental influences or inadequate income.
So we shouldn't just focus on that, we can still do many things even if we don't have savings, the most important thing is knowledge, in my opinion it is a big capital in life.
If you want to enjoy your old age you can't always do it by saving, in fact I think a good plan for enjoying your old age is by investing.
And how can you invest without any savings? Saving any disposable income you may have is the first step before you can become an investor, and while without a doubt knowledge is important, it means nothing without the money necessary to take advantage of it.
Besides once you read several books about investing, there is not much you can learn from them, and instead you need to learn by actually using your money to buy the assets you like, and in order to do this once again you need money.
Yes, I agree, saving and investing are two different things, although both are important for our future, which is more important?
In my opinion, it would be more important to save if we feel that we can't start investing because we don't have enough funds or finances, and remembering that investing is not an easy thing because of the risks we have to face in the future and we must always be ready to maintain our investment, that doesn't mean investing is a bad thing, but we have to look at our abilities, don't force what we might not be able to do, because everything requires MONEY.
by saving, there is an opportunity for us to invest, and learn the science of investing for the long term, so that we can put the money we save to good use
and if you can do both saving and investing that would be even better. But back to our respective abilities, the point is don't force it. Opportunities will always be there as long as we want and try
