Saving v/s Investing is not a new debate. While savings pertains to money put away for short time periods, Investing on the other hand is a decision catering to a longer time duration.
Saving V/s investing
Savings is normally the money that is put away for short term periods and is associated with low risk and low return.
The after tax returns generated from savings rarely outpace inflation.
Investing on the other hand is a conscious decision.
Monies are invested for a longer duration of time, over 3-5 years.

The returns generated are generally higher when compared to the returns from savings.
 
   
Outpace Inflation
Inflation has a profound negative effect on the amount you accumulate on your savings.

It continuously eats away the returns that you get on your money.

For example: If you are getting 6% interest on your savings fixed deposit  and inflation is 5%, than your real return or actual growth in capital is a mere 1%. In case if inflation goes above your interest rate than the returns after adjusting for inflation can go negative also, here you end up actually losing money rather than making any.
