Money TreeInvestment is the choice to put some of your savings with the hope of gain in the future. Investing is like planting a seed today and pick the fruit later. You can put your money in some business and you'll get profit. You can buy gold, then sell when its price is soaring, you'll get gain from deducting selling and buying price. You can buy bonds and receive interest. But first things first. Why is investing a smart idea?

Look around closely at everything you bought lately. Almost all of them will worn out and reduced in value. You've just bought a newest cellphone. Cool! In weeks, another model come out and its price will drop. The same thing happen to your television, hi-fi, computer, or notebook. If you've just bought a new dress, maybe years later you are using that dress to clean up dirt on floor. New sofa may end up five years later in garage sale.

If you want to be rich, buy things like rich people do. Buy expensive stuff? No! Absolutely not. Buying expensive stuff is one side of rich people. The other side is they are buying things that increase in terms of value in the future: INVESTMENT.

If you eat in fast food restaurant, rich people buy fast food restaurant stocks. If you buy donut, rich people buy donut recipe and sell donut to you, and they make more money.

That's why rich people gets richer everyday. Because they do things that always make them richer. THEY INVEST. If you want the same thing, invest!
