Problem 25

Introduction

To invest means to set aside money in the hope of receiving a good benefit or return in the coming years. To put it another way, to invest is to hold an asset or a thing with the intention of earning money from it or benefiting from the development of the investment, which is a growth in the object’s value over time. Whenever an individual invests, he or she must always give up some current asset, such as time, wealth, or energy. When individuals invest, individuals have the benefit of receiving a return on that investment.
