Lastly, investing is highly preferable to savings.
Personally, I think most of us would rather invest than save during inflation because investing is done with a business model. After all, where there is no risk, there is no reward.
However, if inflation runs higher than the interest rate you receive on your savings. In other words, what would happen if things turned around? Well, if your money is kept in a bank that doesn't pay interest and inflation supports price increases, then your savings will have less value. We will definitely get a poor return on our savings.
Generally Investing is something that many people don't do because of their ignorance. It is a known fact that most people do not have their own financial advisor.
