There are plenty of reasons you should save your hard-earned money. For one, it’s usually your safest bet, and it’s the best way to avoid losing any cash along the way. It’s also easy to do, and you can access the funds quickly when you need them. Despite its perks, saving does have some drawbacks, including:

• Returns are low, meaning you could earn more by investing (but there’s no guarantee you will.)
• Because returns are low, you may lose purchasing power over time, as inflation eats away at your money.

In this episode, we are joined by Faith Kwamboka, a portfolio manager in one of the largest asset management companies in Kenya and Billy Ouko an Audit associate in one of the big four accounting firms in Kenya. Join us as they take you through the basics of investing and growing your money to help you build a sound financial foundation for yourself and your loved ones.
