Question

If investing can bring higher returns why should someone put money in a savings account at all?

Answer 1

Because you take risks when you invest

Step-by-step explanation:

Ideally, someone should both invest and have some money aside on a saving account (in case of emergency for instance).

First of all, because you should never put all your eggs in the same basket.

Then, because any investment involve a certain level of risk, so you should not invest any amount you are not ready to lose.
