Stop "Saving" for Retirement - Money Minute with Jessica Moorhouse

If there's one thing that grinds my gears it's when people use the wrong terminology! And people, journalists, even some financial experts keep saying this and it is WRONG: "Save for retirement" Nope. You can't. You cannot save for retirement. Because saving is the act of putting cash in a savings account, keeping it liquid, and earning very little interest. So stop saving for retirement, and instead start investing for retirement. Investing is the only way to build your wealth for retirement. So stop saying "save" and start saying "invest" for retirement, because it more accurately describes the steps you need to take to get to that $1 to $3 million dollars you'll probably need to retire by 65.
