Serious question: What ought to be a financial investment? Nothing? Points that are otherwise worthless?
Anything that is meant to be consumed should not be an investment, anything that in an ideal society should be cheaper to purchase for the betterment of that society, should not be an investment.
Companies that produce those things, ideally better or more efficient every year for various reasons, those should be investments.
We should invest in banana farmers, not bananas. Likewise we should invest in construction companies, not houses.
I don't; nothing was one of the expected answers.
Nothing sounds pretty good to me
Why should you be able to take your extra money to generate more extra money for later? Maybe if that wasn't an option, more people would spend that money on themselves or their community
