Personal finance
Ten ways to make your friends wish they knew as much about money as you do: No. 6 — Be aware of the difference between saving and investing. Saving money is simply the act of not spending it. Investing means that you earn a return (that's cash, people) on the money you put into it. It takes awhile to be financially and intellectually ready for investing. Saving doesn't take brainpower, it takes willpower. Save for awhile. Then invest when you feel you are ready. For more personal finance tips, go to:
