Investing in the stock market differs from putting money in a savings account at a bank because (S=Short, L=Long T=term)
- Investing is best for LT accumulation, and savings for ST or emergency.
- investing typically earns between 1-2% while savings generally earn 5-7%.
- investing is always a less risky option than saving.
- investing is best for short term, savings is best for long term.
