What financial goals call for saving rather than investing?
Consider putting money into a savings-type account if you need it within a short period of time. A typical investment market cycle is five-to-seven years, so if you need the money in less time than that, it’s a good idea to put it in a savings account. Saving is also a good strategy if you plan to completely fund the goal yourself, and don’t need to rely on your money growing significantly.
Examples of short-term savings goals include:
✅Car down payment
✅Vacation money
✅ Down payment for a home you’ll buy in seven years or fewer
✅Home improvement projects
✅ Building an emergency fund
