Savings or Investments
The word “saving” originates from the same root as “safe”. The safety of money is of critical
importance here. Whereas, when one invests money, the primary objective typically is to earn
profits. The important point to note here is that there is a trade-off between risk and return.
The other difference is evident from the dictionary definition of “saving”– reduction in the
amount of money used. This definition refers to reducing consumption so that some money
is saved. It is this saved money that can be invested. In other words, saving and investing are
not to be considered as two completely different things, but two steps of the same process –
in order to invest money, one needs to save first. Thus, saving precedes investing.
