🌱 What is Investing?

Investing means putting your money into assets like stocks, bonds, or real estate to grow wealth over time. Unlike saving, which keeps money safe but earns little interest, investing aims to earn returns through market performance.

  • Stocks: Buy ownership in companies (e.g., Apple or Tesla)
  • Bonds: Lend money to governments or corporations
  • ETFs: Invest in baskets of assets (e.g., S&P 500)
  • Real Estate: Purchase property for rental income or appreciation
