Saving money is investment i think ,you are investing in stability of the currency, to trust of your bank and you just believe that tomorrow you will be able same amount of goods as today.

Saving cannot be considered the same as investing, because with investing, you are expecting a return on your investment, or you are making your money grow. With saving, you are basically just accumulating money that will be subject to inflation. Money that is idle cannot be considered investment because it is not generating any kind of profit or return.

But there is a chance of losing your money with investment which is not the case when you save it

Well saving is really a good way to invest your money. It means that you are investing for something that you are still uncertain in the future.
It's either you are going to get some good profit and you are going to save it for your future investment or business.

Saving is good if you are concern for your future, we cannot ascertain what will happen in the future so we need to save, if you do not have a savings, it is not too late to start, we just need to discipline ourselves and don't think this is optional but a compulsory thing.

For me, I will prefer to do saving rather than with investment. Because I am already treating saving as investment. And the thing is that I am much more secured if I am going to save my money. Because I don't want to invest too much so instead of putting out some capital, I am just enjoying the essence of saving.
