If you don’t want to gamble just invest in ETFs every month and you will be fine.

I mean, that's still gambling. If you invest in a world-wide, well-spread, low-cost ETF, you're essentially betting that the worldwide economy will grow faster than inflation+costs.

That's a pretty safe bet, but still a bet.

Depends on how much your national government taxes investment compared to savings account. Here the difference means it's the same expected value just with more variance
