Most people keep their money in banks.
If you keep money in the savings account in a bank, your money will lose value over time. This is because the interest rate provided by the bank is lower than the inflation rate. Your money is losing value although the amount of money is increasing. This is because you would have been able to buy more things at the time which you invested than what it becomes as the price of things increases at a higher rate. This is why letting your money remain in a savings account is not a good idea, and many people choose to invest their money elsewhere as a hedge against inflation. Now regarding the people investing in stocks, they may seek a higher return or they believe that they are smart enough to multiply their money through stocks, and that's why they invest in them. It is considered risky, but the reward is also high if you succeed.
Before investing your savings it is important to consider the level of risk you are willing to take and your investment time horizon. A saver who does not want to take any risk with his money and wants the money immediately available for an emergency or a future planned expenditure should keep the money in an FDIC insured bank where the risk of loss is zero. A saver with a long term investment horizon and willing to take on the risk associated with higher long term returns can consider investments in stocks, bonds, or real estate.
