    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.

    There is a very simple explanation given in book I read. It basically says that there are two groups of people. One group are people with ideas to make money, but they have no money (businesspersons). Another group are people with money, but no idea what to do with the money (investors).
    So investors provide money to businesspersons, and both share the rewards from the business.
