If you are only saving your money, you risk falling behind. You can’t argue the numbers- investing beats saving in the long term. They’re both essential in a healthy financial set up. But we believe that too often, savings play a larger role than they should.

In this episode we explain why and help you find a healthy balance between saving and investing.

We cover:

The difference between saving and investing.
The role they each can play in financial freedom and building wealth.
Why saving alone won’t make you rich (Meet the dreaded “I” word; Inflation)
How we each balance saving and investing in our own financial set up.

If you're a serial saver, we're here to convince you that it's time to start investing.
