It's true that it makes sense to invest the savings you have, but it can't be done carelessly. Of course, we have to be able to know what kind of investment can produce clear profits. We also have to be able to determine good investments so that there are no big losses. Investing offline or online requires good knowledge to be able to generate profits. Don't invest if you don't have the knowledge. which is good, because it could be the same as throwing away the money you have.
However, by saving, of course we don't need any knowledge, but what we have to pay attention to is being able to refrain from using our savings carelessly, because there are people who use their savings for things that are not very important. In my opinion, saving has no risk, unless it is lost due to a disaster such as someone stealing or something else. I also think having savings is important before investing, because we must have savings or emergency funds before investing, because there are investments that are disrupted by sudden needs such as having to pay for hospital treatment when an accident occurs, but by having savings or emergency funds the investment will not be disturbed.
By the way, there are those who believe that in order for inflation not to affect their savings, you can buy something, some things, but the truth is that things also lose their value over time, unless they are some kind of collectibles, then this is also possible classified as investment. We live in a society of consumers, every day we are served a large amount of advertising, and they are constantly trying to sell something, it is not strange that people buy a lot of unnecessary things.
Yes, there are times when the things we have bought become worthless over time, and this usually happens to young people who only care about a luxurious lifestyle even though it is only temporary, and I think they are used to being like this. then prestige can happen, where when they are used to a luxurious style they will not be able to lower the level of style so even though their situation is difficult they will probably still force themselves to look all luxurious, this is often a problem because they cannot save money so it is difficult too to make investments.
unless you buy things that seem different, such as antiques, which may have a high price value over time, such as paintings that have their own meaning, because I think there are also people who like collecting antiques, and I think this is also including investment, but leading to hobbies.
