When you listen to the evening news and hear reports that the global economy had a great day, do you find yourself wishing you were investing? If so, you’re certainly not alone. According to a Gallup poll, only about 55% of Americans invest in the stock market.

I can classify savings as dormant or sleeping amount of money while investment is the active amount of money. Money kept in a place for a period of time would remain there without bearing fruits or improvement. But the money sent on errands would go and come back multiplied. These are differences between savings and investment.

The words 'Saving' and 'Investments' are sometimes used interchangeably by most folks.
The two words have some similarities but that doesn't make them the same.

"There's a popular saying that Savings are investments, but not all investments are savings"

Saving actually means keeping some amount of money aside to meet long or short-term needs which may not yield any profit and it attracts zero risk.

On the other Hand, investment means putting money into a business or venture to yield profits within a specific period with risks depending on the targeted roi.

I don't believe that saying that goes like " al savings are investment and not all investments are savings. Saving will not increase your money while investment will.
