Saving in an account is a good option for short-time saving, like e.g. the FlexiDeposit Account. For long-term saving funds might be a good option.

Säästämään voi ja kannattaa opetella heti kun säästöön voi laittaa pienenkin summan. Kun säästämisestä tulee tapa, jää osa tuloista kuluttamatta automaattisesti. Säästösummia  ja -kohteita voi myöhemmin vaikkapa elämäntilanteen muuttuessa muuttaa.

Pidempään kestävästä säästämisestä voi ja kannattakin tehdä suunnitelmallisempaa ja tavoitteellisempaa. Jos säästämisen tarkoituksena ei ole vain vain yllätyksiin varautuminen eikä säästöjä tarvitse tiettyyn aikaan, voi vuosien varrella kertyville säästöille saada tuottoa sijoittamalla.  

Sijoittaa voi, vaikkei itse olisi kiinnostunut talousasioista, osakkeista tai markkinoiden seuraamisesta. Esimerkiksi rahastoon, jossa ammattilaiset hoitavat kaiken valmiiksi voi tehdä säästösopimuksen jo kympillä kuussa. Kuukausisäästäjän ei tarvitse olla sijoittamisen asiantuntija, ammattilaiset hoitavat sijoituksia puolestasi ja meiltä saat apua juuri sinulle sopivien rahastojen valintaan.

Most Finns’ assets consist of their home and savings kept in accounts, which means inflation could have a significant impact on their finances. Inflation is the rate at which the prices of goods and services increase.
