Saving does not make anyone rich but investment does, investment is like a business because it involves an individual using his money to get more money through a legitimate process, you don't just keep your money in a comfortable zone and expect it to yield fruit for you in the long run or within a short period, it isn't possible, saving can only help in the situation of emergency but as for making you rich, is a no-no, as a person that wants to grow financially don't make the mistake of stock pilling your money in a stuff that's not profit-oriented unless you don't want to get rich anytime soon, identify a business that's worth your investment and invest your money so that you can be expectant in the future.
investment can also cause us to lose money or suffer losses if we invest without good knowledge about the aspects related to investment, because investments that can produce profits are investments that are done well, not haphazardly. then what will happen is only losses. therefore, before we make an investment, we must have good knowledge of investments whose aim is to generate profits, also investments that generate profits, in my opinion, are long-term investments, and not everyone can do this, because it requires strong patience. and good determination in making investments.
Do you think saving is a bad thing?
I think saving is not wrong either, now think about the investments we make but we don't have savings, and when a problem occurs that can be said to be an emergency then we clearly need money to be able to overcome that problem, and if we don't have savings maybe what will happen is selling investing or withdrawing investments that are being made, even though they are at a loss point. Saving is also important in my opinion, where investments can be made when our finances are stable and we have savings, because it is impossible to sell investments made at inappropriate times, such as to overcome problems that are considered emergencies.
