When we think about investments we only think about only money and money only, and yeah that is right thing because in order to start any type of business money is the number one thing that is needed to run the business and to develop it, but is money the only things that needs to run a business and is money the only investment that runs a business, because knowledge and skill is other things that are needed to run a business so can we invest knowledge and skills?

Powerful people often invest in the career of young people who they like and they will abuse their powers, commit fraud on others, so that young people succeed, often cheating others.

Yeah this things are common in my country, there are few powerful and wealthy peoples who have high place in the government and they even have hands on the governments and they have power so the government don't do any things, so they can invest on young peoples mind set and careers and they treat them like slaves and they even don't pay them what they deserve.

You can invest money no doubt, you can also invest your properties by giving out on lease. Investment can also involve humans (your kids, siblings etc)

I agree with you, there are a lots of things to invest not only money but like you said human power, knowledge and also skill and experiences are things that are invested on business plans, without any human power and skills money can't do nothing.

When we talk about investment, it is more than just money, you can also invest your time, your energy, even your skills and mental reasoning. All these are all different types of investment.

Investing goes beyond just financial resources. Time, energy, and skills are equally valuable investments that can yield significant returns. When we invest our time in learning new skills or acquiring knowledge, we enhance our personal growth and expand our capabilities.

You can invest your time, effort, knowledge, as well as money. However, when it comes to investment, we only talk about money because money is the most important tools required for invetsment.

That is true, money is often seen as the most essential tool for investment. Without sufficient funds, it is difficult to make significant investments and see substantial returns. Money is important and often the main focus when discussing investment strategies.

That's right, like for us working on paid to post sites there was no investment made with money, but we are investing out time and the knowledge we have in exchange for the money we make.

Yes, while paid-to-post sites may not require money investment, we are still investing our time and expertise to earn money. It's important to value and recognise the effort and energy that goes into making money through these platforms.

ln a matter of fact, it's only money that can be invested mostly seamlessly and conveniently indeed.
For this and another reasons money is often measured in the value of anything else.

Many people assume that money is the most valuable asset in the world. Almost each and every person on this planet wants to earn money. However, time and skills are also very valuable assets that should never be wasted.

Investment also involves services you are offering in a different manner. When you invest your time and skills to earn money, you are basically investing other kinds of resources in a really different manner.

A lot of us are just learning about investment for the first time and we were erroneously believe that investment is just money.
