Anybody with a job earns some money. But saving the money or investing the money correctly is a very difficult game. Specially investing the money wisely to let it grow is a difficult one. Savings helps us to get the money at any point of time. BUt when it comes to investment it is a long term project..So which one do you prefer - Saving or Investment? How do you let you money grow?

It is investment,of course.No investment,no savings.Savings are temporary while the investment is long-term.you should also think for a second time before you make your mind to invest something.something like 'Am I familiar with the topic that i invest to'and 'What can I do for details with the investment',What can I obtain from the investment?Last but not least,appropriate saving is essential.

Both,I'll first save part of them according to my living standard,so that even if something happens one day,like the stocking market goes down and my share shrinkes,i will still be able to make it through for some time. Then with the money left,i'd invest them but i wouldn't put all eggs in one basket.

I'd rather invest it in stuff like property or anything that will have an increase in value in the long term. Savings is a safe game cause its guaranteed and stuff but the returns are too little when compared to investment. no risk no gain

Most definatey saving for me,I wouldnt use investment,but im not a speculative person.There are many who love to speculate,and as the saying goes ,you have to speculate to accumulate..and my brother in law has a good time on the Stock market,he tends to get inside information lol and he does very well,but lol he doesnt tell us when he has a bad day!
