I think that saving is the better cause investments is always risky, you will never know what you can got at the end, so better to use safe ways.
of course saving your money is the best because you will not lose it in such way and you will never miss a chance to make money out of the price growth
I think if we are going to think about saving then that is going to be the best thing to do as the days are becoming harder and the wisest people are keep on saving.
So for me saving is really much helpful if you don't have enough funds for investment. But if you are going to be able to invest, then that is going to be better.
But it is the best if you are able to do both.
Investment is the best way to grow your money, but without savings you cannot do that, your first priority when you are raising a capital for investment is to save as much as you can and once you hit your target capital that would be the next step that you have to invest in your preferred investment type.
