SAVING VS INVESTING

What is the difference between saving and investing?

People often use saving and investing interchangeably. To make things easier, we prefer to think of saving as not spending your money and putting it aside in a bank account. We like to think of investing as you putting your money to work so that it grows over time.

Saving

Saving is putting aside money that you’re not spending.

Saving is a good approach when putting away money for an emergency. You are keeping it in a bank account or a money market unit trust so you can access it easily if you run into trouble.

You can also save for a holiday that’s around the corner or a gift for a special birthday.

Investing

When it comes to investing you make your money work.

You’re putting it away for a decent amount of time, say 5 years, so that it can grow.

Investing can help you reach your longer-term goals, like retirement or an education fund for your child. The longer your money is invested, the more potential it has to grow and earn interest.
