If you don’t save, where can you get money to invest? If you can’t even discipline yourself to save, how can you expect yourself to handle the ups and downs of investing especially in the stock market? Will you be disciplined enough to stick to your investing strategy and not panic if you see the stocks falling to record lows? Will you lose a lot of money for lack of discipline? If you lose money through your failed “investments”, who’s the loser now? You or the saver?

In the end, it is not that saving money is bad. Saving money allows you to have more money to invest.

If your “saved” money, however, is lying idle and not growing or working for you to give you more money (hint: investing), then you ARE losing money.

For every dollar you save in the bank, the bank is allowed to lend 10x that, and earn 10x more money in interests. They get 10% when they lend your “saved” money to other people and they pay you 1% for giving them the money to do all that.

It’s time you take control of your own money. Regain your power and show your money who is the real master and who is the slave. Save. Invest.
