I've always been interested in investing, but I quickly learned how there are much better ways to increase your means and accounts. I've heard countless times you don't get rich by saving $1 by avoiding Starbucks but by increasing your income. So, would it make sense to invest my savings in cash flow assets such as profitable websites, building them up even more to possibly be re-sold at a higher multiple or invest in stocks like the rest of the world?

I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this question, but I'm interested to start a discussion on the topic with the community and see what everyone's perspective is.

How would you invest your savings?

1) Traditionally with 401ks, Roth IRAs and Stocks
or
2) Cash Flow Assets
