Is it a good thing to invest or is good to continue looking for what to eat?
What do you think.
Looking for what to eat is the priority. How can you think of investing if you don't have something in your plate? To invest, it's a must that you're having enough of what you need as a human being and able to provide as well for the needs of your family. If you're already stable in that matter then investing can come next.
Saving and investing are important to have something to count on in the future that's already given. However, we must also attend to what is needed now in order for us to survive especially that inflation is inevitable.
Nobody really does that, OP just created a topic out of nothing. Nobody ever said "I look for what to eat, and not care about investment", everyone knows that you eat first, and then you invest, that's the sorting of it and that's known and that's how everyone acts. Not like we eat our investments, not like we could have invested 5k into bitcoin but instead we went clubbing and ate/drank that much and covered the tabs of everyone or something. Eating is a must, and nobody questions that.
We all invest when we can, but if anyone in the world is thorn apart about eating or investing, they will go with eating. What good does an investment can do when you are hungry, am I gonna eat Bitcoins? I rather eat, but if any money is left after that? Invest.
