Young people should be able to distinguish savings from investments for competent financial management. Savings are funds set aside for the future and kept in a secure place like a bank, available for unexpected expenses or significant acquisitions. Usually the value of these funds remains constant and is not subject to sudden fluctuations, even though the returns on them are small due to low interest.
Investments, on the other hand, involve the allocation of capital to assets or resources with the prospect of increasing in value or earning a profit. They are aimed at realizing long-term financial goals, such as purchasing a home or financing education. Investing carries some risk of loss due to market volatility, but diversifying investments across a variety of assets can reduce this risk. It is important to realize that savings are the basis for short-term financial stability, while investments are aimed at achieving long-term goals for the financial future.
