Investing

Putting money into things that can grow in value over time — pieces of companies, loans to companies and governments, and funds that hold many of them at once. Investing is not saving: savings sit still and stay safe; investments move up and down and are built for years, not weeks.

For your first $100: Your first $100 of investing is not about getting rich. It is about starting the habit in the right account, in the right order — growth is the long game's job.
