Understanding Saving vs. Investing

Saving and investing serve distinct financial purposes. Saving typically involves placing funds in a bank account, which often yields minimal interest—sometimes as low as 0.00001%. In contrast, investing refers to allocating money in various market vehicles, such as stocks, that offer the potential for much higher returns, often around 5% to 10% or more. The key takeaway is that while saving provides liquidity and security, investing is essential for wealth growth, especially in combating inflation.
