Saving vs. Investing: What Should You Focus on First?

Blog Summary: Should you stack your savings or start investing? This post breaks it all down baddie-style, so you can make confident money moves now and for the future.

Start with Savings If...

• You don’t have an emergency fund (at least 3–6 months of expenses)
• You live paycheck to paycheck
• You’re new to managing money

Start Investing If...

• You already have a solid emergency fund
• Your debt is under control
• You want long-term wealth

Pro Tip: You can do both. Save with intention while investing small amounts to build the habit. Just don’t neglect your foundation for the glow-up.
