Traditional investments

Traditional investments are when you use money you have to buy something that could go up in value so that you can make money. For example, you could buy stocks, which are small pieces of a company. If the company does well, the value of the stock will go up and you can sell it for more money than you paid for it. You can also buy bonds, which are like loans to companies and governments. You lend them money and they pay you back later with interest. With traditional investments it can take a long time for the value of your investment to grow, but if you put your money in the right places, you could eventually make a lot of money!
