Many of us, who realize the importance of saving. But not many realize the purpose of saving. Even worse, there is still not yet able to distinguish the sense to save by investing.

Thus the sentence quoted from a piece of educational books published by the mutual fund of the Capital Market Supervisory Agency of Financial Institutions (Bapepam LK) and written the President Director of PT Fortis Investments, Eko B Pratama, like detikFinance quotes, Monday (28/07/2008).

Is it true that between saving and investing is different? This is defined as save for save some money that will be used for a later date. More and more funds to save the better. Habit of saving is a good start for someone to arrange financing that is owned. But because it is voluntary, saving money does not have a target and a specific plan but rather the initial purpose like buying a house or other.

While investing is a process of saving a certain goal-oriented and how to achieve that goal.

Most of Indonesian people is still a saver rather than investors. But from a depositor could now become an investor who cares about the future.
