How to save

Many people mistakenly use the terms ‘saving’ and ‘investing’ interchangeably. Though both are used to achieve your financial goals, there are differences between the two approaches, and each has its own role to play in your holistic financial plan.

Your first step to achieving any savings goal is to develop a holistic financial plan to effectively allocate your hard-earned savings.

Savings

Saving usually refers to putting your money into cash or money-market linked products with low risk, and it is typically for short-term goals. You may put your savings into a bank account, where it will earn a small amount of interest at very low risk.

Investments

Investing, on the other hand, is when you spend your money on something that promises to deliver future returns, most likely in financial markets. Investing has higher risk and is best for longer-term goals, such as investing for your retirement.
