Save money and invest money. Two things that each has its own advantages and disadvantages. To choose between them should be based on our needs. For me currently requires funds for my future so I will choose to invest
I think these two is the same, the same that the aim is to have a profit or some earnings. But I don't agree with you that we need to choose in that two options based on our needs because what we are needing is profit or earning.
If you will be needing money for the future, you can also save for it right? You can choose these two if you want money in the future.
