Know when to stop saving and start investing, which is after saving three to six months of core living expenses.
Investing before having sufficient savings can lead to pulling money out at a loss during market downturns or emergencies.
Saving alone is insufficient for retirement; you must invest.
Start investing early to leverage the power of time and compound interest.
