For me there ain't better among the two. It is important that we save money and it is also good that we invest our money so that it will grow. Invest only if we got so many extra money but if not, it is better to save money first before investing in anything since if you don't have enough money, it ain't good to invest since there's always a risk of losing your money in an investment.
If you are in need, and you are really willing to earn more money, it's better to risk as long as you have knowledge on where you are investing your money.. If you are working and have a regular income you could do a better plan between investing and saving... It's all depends upon your mind set, if you are conservative, then just save your money, but if you are into money making, invest your money...
