SAVING VS INVESTMENT

Let me take it slow to start with because from the topic, it might quite look confusing to many people.

First of all what is saving?

A reduction in cost or expenditure or money set aside for the future.

Then what is investment?

Investment is A placement of capital in expectation of deriving income or profit from its use or appreciation.

If you noticed one major difference between the two is when it comes to saving, there is no expectation of income or profit while it is much more involved or deals manly about the profit in investment.

I have seen many people trying to say saving is investment. When I save I am investing. Actually that can be true to an extent but that's not Definetely true.

When you save, your money might not yield profit or income which is against the major law backing the rules of investment.

Now many people save and consider it investment and let say after many years, they come back to check on their saving. They are disappointed of it not yielding profit or income for them or as they expect which is what is expected.

But you seen the other person placing his bet on investment and his main thinking and expectation is that after many months or years to come, that will yield profit for him. That's what is called investment.

I will say not all saving are investment as many people keep misinterpreting it but
Every investment is a saving in disguise (If it yeild positive investment) as many people didn't understand.

Or what do you think.

What is the difference between Saving and investment??

Like I always say, the only money that has the propensity to generate profit is the one that has been invested and not the one saved. Obviously, saving is very different from investing as you have said. One thing that differentiates them is the generation of profit.
Nice piece buddy

I believe that saving is only good to practice when an economy is not inflationary, while when an economy is like Venezuela's with high percentages of inflation it is not advisable to save, investment is always good in any case as long as we invest with concern and knowledge. Greetings and thanks for sharing.

I find it more attractive and prudent to save because most of the time it produces and generates more confidence.
