The salon has never been a wise decision in developing your property. because inflation is increasing every year and our job is to increase our revenue more than inflation many times.
We should really invest, but for financial markets that need a lot of knowledge, we should consider. Not everyone can understand and earn a lot of money in crypto and stock markets.
To be safer, we should invest in real estate. because the demand for real estate sales is increasing every day.

The traditional norms made us believe that savings are a safe option to store your wealth.
But is it true now?
With inflation, we all know that the prices of the wealth we have kept in our savings account will decrease. What is the use of saving when ultimately we are not even able to enjoy what we have been saving for years?
The smarter option?
Investment! Investment is not gambling if done rightly. Very often we see people not putting too much effort into learning and jumping into FOMO. They don’t have enough guidance that will help them to invest better.
Savings is not bad, inflation do happen, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't do savings. And by the way what is even hard in doing the both of them? One thing I know for sure is that you can be having savings in your bank or any savings company and still be an investor and these things don't even need much of your attention, you can just invest and that's it, relax and wait for your returns, you're not the one doing the business, you're just a saver and investor. So I will advise you to be doing the both of them. There are even some savings company that gives you up to 15% annual return, if you save with them… banks gives 4%. That's how it is in my country. I prefer to use those companies for savings, that way I get up to 13%-15%.

What is the use of saving when ultimately we are not even able to enjoy what we have been saving for years?

Even if the money is put in the bank, the forces of economics like inflation affects the economy and in turn , the money kept won't worth its original value because it can only purchase lesser. But if such money was put into investment as liquidity, it keeps interacting with the economy positively and its value keeps raising.

Sure, investment is better for me. Is worth it to take the risk.
How is it possible that you put all your money into investment without having savings at all? there are situation whereby you will have cases of emergency and the only thing that would save you is saving, not investment, otherwise, you will end up begging people or borrowing loan which could cost you your investment, because it may stand as collateral.

One thing about those two is that you cannot leave one, and practice one, you have to practice both, and the only required thing is that you just learn to balance the equation. I agree with you that you don’t know what could happen in the future that will render your savings useless, which is your base for investment, but you can just work it out in 30:70 ratio, 30 for savings and could use the remaining 70 for a very reasonable investment.

Most posts I have seen in this thread are rather one dimensional rather than thinking of the situation as a whole. To begin with investing is something that can't be done without you saving anything some folks call it the 50/30/20 (others have their own way of dividing their own earnings) rule where 50% goes to your necessities and the 30 percent goes to your wants the rest of it goes to your financial goals. You cannot really put all your money in to investing because that wouldn't be even called investing in the first place as you are just risking your entire future for it.
Well said, savings is the base for investing. There needs to be separate channel for savings and for investment. Savings will have a value that won't get changed over the days. With investment we get to experience an increase in the value with time, the same can be in the uptrend as well in the downturn. So, it is not possible to rely on investment all the time, but savings is a life saver, investment is to make the life more sophisticated.
with savings we can deal with the needs of life more easily. different from investment, which should use free money. I agree with your opinion, where there must be posts for each to make life easier


if we find saving and also as investment it will be very good for us.no need to spend more money for our investment.take a look and insurance that give us return after several years.this is an example for smart saving.we have to put some our money here.

Investment! Investment is not gambling if done rightly. Very often we see people not putting too much effort into learning and jumping into FOMO. They don’t have enough guidance that will help them to invest better.

As much as possible, we must secure future funds by doing both savings and investments. Not just pure investments.

Inflation will not happen overnight so you are overthinking too much about that possibility. Still, it's necessary to have savings while dealing and managing with our own investments along the way. We must have a purpose of regular and continuous accumulation whether fiat, crypto or any other assets as part of diversifying our own funds. We also need to secure backup funds if ever our certain investment went wrong.

Being struck by FOMO is a usual thing. Let others experienced it but be sure to learn from it. There's no such thing as success without problems along the way. Those who have experienced several difficulties along the way are the one who made it a success at the end.

Both of them we're different, with investments you need to take a risk of your funds which you took care of. You might lose it for a certain project or business investments, but the potential profit can be achieved once successful. Unlike with saving, you only see your money accumulating because you're constantly putting it all specially when you have a daily job that earns well. The money isn't moving and earning passive income but not risky.

There is always a way to minimize risk in investment.  A person can diversify wherein, his capital fund can be distributed to different investments.  For example, if a person have a 100% capital fund he can allocate a certain percentage for traditional business, stocks, and cryptocurrency investments.  That way if one does not perform well, there is a possibility that the other 2 are performing better.



And as a whole, we should  do this two things, save to have a fund for investment and whenever we have a successful investment, we must save those profit to have a new venture of investment in the future.  This two things should go hand in hand.   The only problem is that people are not knowledgeable / fearful in venturing in an investment that is why they prefer to not touch their savings to avoid the risk of losing it.

One needs and must do both to lead a successful, safe and secure life. I do savings plus investment because both are important and necessary part. I mostly do Forex/Crypto trading, and it’s sort of thing that can bring great rewards. I feel pretty comfortable with FreshForex, as they are awesome with having low spreads, high leverages and also bonuses which makes trading so very cool.

Saving does look safer than investing, because saving is no risk, while investing is risky but getting greater profits than saving. All depends on choice, if we have more money, we better dare to invest.
Saving isn't actually have no risk.Then what you do called about inflation?Its still a risk yet nothing on this world is free of risk.
The difference here is that investing is some sort of way on making even more money by risking out your savings (not all or just a portion)
because each of us do have emergency funds being kept but if you are an open minded person which do things about possibilities then
you would eventually thought on taking up the risk since you know on whats behind if it did succeed.

saving does not need any knowledge but investing needs a lot if investing is done in order to escape from inflation without knowledge then all our savings can vanish ,

It's not necessary to invest all your savings, your savings has a lot of allocations, that could be for investing of course, emergencies, leisure, and other future plans, those are just examples but you can add based on your planning.

investing is good i did a lot in stock market and as brought a good profits also now i have made divided investments in both crypto and stocks
Everyone knows how profitable the stock market could be if you invest in the right kind of stocks. This is where Warren Buffett made his billions from. But I think you can only save good money when you make good money and in order to make good money, you have to invest money in some kind of asset that will make you the millionaire. Investment is the key to money.

Yes we know how it works! fiat is very vulnerable to inflation, especially if you are in a poor country, saving fiat is not a good idea, the cost of living will be more expensive, the cost of goods will be more expensive while your fiat money will remain same, I prefer investment because it is safer for your value money

I have been true victim of it. Our local currency is devalued day by day and all our savings gets lower by this. The inflation rate is way too high in our country. Since the local fiat depends upon the dollar rate, the more the dollar rate increase the less valuable the fiat currency becomes.

Savings are for those poor and middle class people only. If you want to become rich, let the money work for you.

When I was a kid, many are saying that saving money is good for the future but as I see how the economy works I don't think that saving is good right now. Inflation is slowly increasing and the buying power of our money is slowly increasing.

I think between the 2, investing is way better than saving and can give you more profit in long run.
I laughed on the thing you said that savings are just for poor and middle class? I don't think so yet even rich ones do need to save up.

It might be quite irrelevant or odd but its the reality.We might see they don't need money or to save but there are actually does do such thing.
Investment always a best choice imho.

I think investment is popular around here, we are mostly people who are using bitcoin as an investment and we are doing it fairly right because even the ones who are losing money is not going away and tries to make it back and considering bitcoin is a bull coin in the long run anyone who has enough interest to bitcoin could potentially always make money.

Yeah, you can get in during the bear run and lose money but if you do not stop there and keep reinvesting at lower stages as it goes down than you are going to average the entry point down and when bitcoin eventually goes up (it always does) you will profit from it. So, investment is cool, we know how to do it, we have the perfect coin for it and we have the perfect system for it, I would say investment wins this one.

Savings is good because it is not risky because just stay in one place but it doesn't grow, meaning what you have saved is equal to what you can get. Investment on the other hand is risky so you have to be smart enough in choosing an investment, make sure you choose the right investment that can give you more profits. In investments your money grows over time without you even adding money to it.

between saving and investing both has their own advantages, depending on how we see it. if saving, you cannot get extra profit from the funds that you save while by investing the funds that you invest have the opportunity to gain multiple profit. the difference is the risk, if saving can be said without risk while investment is full of risks.
