Explanation : Saving is income not spent, or deferred consumption. In economics, it refers to any income not used for immediate consumption-consuming less out of a given amount of resources in the present in order to consume more in the future. Saving, therefore, is the decision to defer consumption and to store this deferred consumption in some form of asset.
