At the very fundamental level, there are only two things that can be done with money*. (*Hayek Austrian definition of 'money')

(There are those who call investing the third option, but its debatable since it has characteristics of both.)

 

hmmmm, how would you classify investing money?

 

Investment is just another form of consumption.

 

And consumption is just another step towards the heat death of the universe when thermodynamic equilibrium is reached and maximum entropy finally erases all trace of our brief existence.
