From Piggy Banks to Online Investment: Why Saving Alone Won’t Make You Rich…

Let me just start by saying, the question “Would you rather invest or keep saving?” feels almost unfair.

Like, why can’t I just have unlimited money and skip all this decision-making stress?

But alas, life isn’t a Netflix rom-com where the billionaire sweeps in to save the day, so here we are.

Growing up, I was a die-hard saver. I’m talking piggy banks, envelopes, and the occasional secret stash in my school bag. But saving got boring fast when I realized it didn’t grow on its own imagine watering a plant and nothing happens.

One moment from my teenage years stands out vividly. My mom’s friend once handed me 5000 franc CFA after tasting my chef’s kiss egusi soup. Instead of splurging on snacks, my 13-year-old brain thought, “How can I multiply this money?” (Yes, I was that kid.)

With my mom’s approval, I bought a bunch of plantains, oil, and plastic wraps and turned my kitchen into a mini factory of spicy, crunchy plantain chips. I sold 75 packs at 50 franc CFA each and made a tidy profit. Let me tell you, watching those coins add up was exhilarating. That’s when I learned that money loves to grow if you give it a chance.

Fast forward to my university days in Nigeria. Life got real…books, school fees, and personal expenses were calling.

My saving wasn’t cutting it anymore, so a friend introduced me to an investment app called RiseVest.

I had just $15 to spare (yes, things were tight), and I threw it in, not knowing if I was making the right decision.

Two years later, that $15 grew to $157.

It’s not Jeff Bezos money, but for someone who once burned their savings on plantain chips, it felt like a major win. Now, every month, I watch the interest accumulate in peaceful silence, like a money tree growing in the background of my life.

Make Money Grow For You with RiseVest – Watch This

Here’s the thing: saving is great it teaches discipline and gives you a safety net. But investment? That’s the next level. It’s like planting seeds today and waking up to a forest tomorrow (or at least a small garden).

Whether it’s stocks, real estate, or online apps, investing offers the possibility of growth that savings just can’t match.

And to my African friends, especially in Nigeria, imagine what a small investment could become when the exchange rate flips in your favor. Your Naira today could become tomorrow’s golden ticket.

Here’s how RiseVest works…

Don’t sleep on it.

So, would I choose saving over investing? Let’s just say saving is like holding your breath, but investing is learning to swim. You can survive without the latter, but the adventure is in the growth.

What about you? Are you ready to take the leap and plant your own money tree? Start small, dream big, and watch what happens.

Take it one step at a time, and remember your future self will thank you for every bold decision you make today. Now, go out there and grow that money.

  1. Unfortunately it’s not an AI ad, and I wrote something from my experience. Even though I decided to host a blaze campaign which I still paid for, and if I was broke as you mentioned I wouldn’t waste money running campaign my dear. And you are not interested in reading the post , you could have easily ignored it instead of commenting and calling me names.
