Differences between Saving and investment

[Sincerem]

Saving is done with money you are intending to use within a particular period of time. So you have to save money so you can be able to get the required amount to start up a business. Or something else.
Investment may be a money you are committing into something and such money is generating profit for you depending on the type of commitment you did with the money. So many people invest in real estate and so many people invest in government Bill and the Treasury bill.

 

[Chibson]

When you are saving you are not expecting any kind of profit. What you want is the exact amount of money when you want to use it for anything. But investment, it is either you lose or you gain.

 

[Sotherefore]

Saving and investment are not equal. You can save money for investment, while you can invest by keeping your money. When you save money, you have more investment to funds.

Economically investment is better because more profit will be generated without taking your time and you can still use that time to be doing your normal day-to-day business. Savings don't always generate anything in return.
