What is Investing?

Investing is how you make your money grow, or appreciate for long term financial goals. It is a way of saving your money for something further ahead in the future. Saving is a plan to set aside a certain amount of your earned income over a short period of time in order to be able to accomplish a short term goal. 

It is a plan of action where you plan on acquiring a certain amount of money by redirecting some of the money you have received from your various sources of income. Investing, on the other hand, is a much longer term activity. 

You should consider investing as an action that is based on long term goals and is primarily accomplished by having your money make more money for you.

Investing is the act of committing money or capital to an endeavor with the expectation of obtaining an additional income or profit.

It's actually pretty simple: investing means putting your money to work for you. Essentially, it's a different way to think about how to make money.

Growing up, most of us were taught that you can earn an income only by getting a job and working. And that's exactly what most of us do. There's one big problem with this: if you want more money, you have to work more hours.

However, there is a limit to how many hours a day we can work, not to mention the fact that having a bunch of money is no fun if we don't have the leisure time to enjoy it

You can't create a duplicate of yourself to increase your working time, so instead, you need to send an extension of yourself , your money, to work. That way, while you are putting in hours for your employer, or even mowing your lawn, sleeping, reading the paper or socializing with friends, you can also be earning money elsewhere.

Quite simply, making your money work for you maximizes your earning potential whether or not you receive a raise, decide to work overtime or look for a higher-paying job.

No matter how you define it Investing does come with the definition of Risk included.
