Putting a little money away regularly is the best way of saving up for expensive things, like a holiday, furniture, or a special family occasion.
There are two ways to save – short term and long term. Savings accounts are for times when you may need to get at your money quickly. They are different from investments, which are really for the longer term.
There are different types of investments. Each has its own level of risk but, basically, you take a risk with your money by investing in assets that could rise or fall in value. There is no guarantee you will make money or even that you will get back the same amount you invested in the first place. Investments are different from savings – they are typically designed for the longer term and involve different types of risk.
Before investing, it’s usually a good idea to have sorted out your debts, made sure you’ve looked at protecting yourself against unforeseen events.
