Recently I have come to understand that most people tend to mistake savings for investing. Especially for does who save their money in the bank then gets a little interest from it, they assume this is also the same thing as investing. For me I believe saving simply have to do with keep money for future use. It does not generate capital for you, highest it's probably just a little profit. Investing on the other hand, has to do with putting in your money with an expectation of making more money in return.
