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
Actually save is the main choice I think, if you already have a fixed income investment will be a less important choice. Because you already have a job and also a steady income and investment only as additional income is not so important. While saving will be very important
For me, saving must come first before investing. Investing is like gambling where the stake of your money is at high risk and just like gambling, winning is not sure. There are people who are new in this industry that made the mistake of investing first because of the desire to earn a lot of money immediately. Without learning and understanding how trading works, they put their money at a bigger risk that mostly leads to loss.
It is important to save money first before investing, in that way if trading does not work you will still have money left for you to use, maybe in investing again.
