Though there is very clear difference between savings and investing. While i would advice that as an entrepreneur you should always save and have an investment, can savings be also considered as an investment? These days when you save your capital in banks, after a period of time, you would get some interest from it, can this be also considered as investment?

In my opinion, it is an investment because the essence of investment is to accumulate profit. Once your money is yielding dividend, it should be considered as investment.

The answer to the question is very straight forward and it cannot be taken as a form of investment because when you save the profit is usually insignificant which is why investment is better.

Savings is very important and we cannot dispute this fact but it could not be taken as an investment because when you save the amount of money in your account will remain the same.

There is a huge difference between saving and investing, even though your savings can give you some returns if you keep your money in saving accounts, the return on your saving will be always negligible.

Savings is just like giving something to a friend to keep for you. Investment is giving something to a friend to use and he paying you for using it.

Never
Saving is different from investment because you will not get any profit when you save but you will make profit when you invest.

No, savings can't considered as investments. Saving is the money put aside in the bank account or at any desired place for future use.
Saved money mostly doesn't earn any interest or profits.

though it cannot be seen as an investment, it is a good thing to save up for the rainy days, as you cannot simply be empty handed in the name of being an investor

I do not consider savings as investment because the interest you get from bank for your savings is minimal. For investment, you are making money works for you. It helps to grow your wealth.

Sometimes it is better not to lose money than to make a profit. Some investments are wrong. But investing in the bank, although it has little profit, but it is not bad and it is safe

it is an investment only if the money is yielding interest. because the essence of investment is to accumulate profit.So without this it shouldn't be considered as investment because it isnt

For me I think savings are not investments. Saving is the money put aside for future use, while investments is the process of making your money work for you in either business or somewhere that would earn you interest or profits over time.

Well, that's right. You have to receive interest to be considered an investment, but you can save your money and receive interest in safe banks. In that case, you can call it an investment
