Most things you buy lose value as soon as you buy them. We know this because if you try to resell them, you have to resell them at a lower price. You’re losing (money-based) value over time.

There are a few areas in the economic world, though, where things increases in value over time. I.e., there’s a good chance you’ll sell the thing for more than the price at which you bought it. (A house, a financial asset like a stock or bond, etc.)

Investing is very basically when people try to buy more things that they know or expect will increase in value over the medium to long term. (And this is a way of essentially “saving” money at a higher interest rate than a savings account at a bank, which are usually pretty low and won’t accrue you much interest over the long term.)
