If it does not, or cannot go up in value, over time, it is considered a bad investment.

understanding investments
There is no way to guarantee an investment will be profitable but the more informed you are, the better the decision you will make.
Key takeaways:
- If it does not go up in value, over time (long-term), it is not a good investment.
- The higher the risk, the greater the reward BUT ALSO the more likely you are to lose your money.
- DO YOUR RESEARCH!!! A smart investor is well informed and understands exactly what is involved in the investment.
- Investments do not reward the impulsive, it rewards the patient.
- Investments should not be viewed as short-term gains but long-term rewards over time.

change the way you think about money
Most people think that as long as they have the money, they should spend it whatever way they want.
Although you could do that, we encourage you to think differently about your money.
Rather than making buying decisions based on how much something costs, we want you to find ways to reduce the amount you spend in order to invest the difference.
Examples
- Buy a used car worth $6,000. In one year, you can buy a $10,000 car if you save a car note of $300 a month ($6,000 + $3,600).
- Buy scratch and dent appliances rather than financing them.
- Help fund your wedding by doing a raffle or an auction.
