I think everyone has their own way that they think will work, I am the type of person who doesn't like getting into philosophical thing if it is unnecessary, so I never think about desiring money. What's work for me is arranging my priority, for me the only way to get rich investing and saving
I'd agree with investing but with saving? well, I'd give that since you've said it with an and with it. So, if it's a combination then I'd agree but don't rely too much with saving because it's only going to help you prepare but not with growing. Maybe the practice and discipline there will help you get rich because you're good in managing your money.
and both can only be done if I can minimize my spending and spare some money to be saved and invested.
Just know your priorities and spend to necessary things and avoid spending to unnecessary products, subscriptions, etc.
