🧩 1. What is Investing?
Investing is the process of using your money to purchase assets (like stocks, real estate, or mutual funds) with the goal of growing its value over time. Unlike saving—which keeps your money safe but idle—investing helps you build wealth by putting your money to work.

💸 2. How Compound Interest Really Works
Compound interest is when you earn returns not just on your original investment, but also on the gains you’ve already made—it’s “interest on interest.” Over time, this creates exponential growth.
📌 Example:
Invest $1,000 at 8% annual return:
- After 1 year: $1,080
- After 10 years: $2,159
- After 30 years: $10,062
The earlier you start, the more powerful the compounding effect becomes.
