Q&A: How do you invest? What is investing really?

Question by Answer4u: How do you invest? What is investing really?
I never invested in anything before and I was just wanting to know how you go about “investing”.

Best answer:

Answer by Mike K
Investing is buying something and hoping it increases in value over time some you can have greater value in the future. Most people look at investing as buying stocks (small pieces of ownership in a company) and hope that company grows over time.
You can also invest in yourself in terms of an education or you can invest in real estate. By buying a house, you are investing in the potential growth in value of the house and provide yourself with a place to live.
