Just don't forget that the investment has a risk attached to it. When you save your money there is also the risk when the bank goes bankrupt. But in our country the deposit is insured up to $10,000 in value. If you spread out your savings in separate accounts then you are safe.Both are important because you can not invest without you first the the amount you intended to invest. But to me investment if of more benefit because it give you a good return after some time while saving just keep your money safe but stagnant.
