It's actually quite simple—it means making your money work while you do what you want. Basically, it's a different way of thinking about how to make money. While growing up, most of us have been taught that we can only earn an income by finding a good job—and that's exactly what most of us do. However, there is a big problem with this—if you want more money, you have to work longer hours. However, there is a limit to the number of hours a day we can work on—not to mention the fact that having a lot of money is not fun if we do not have the time to enjoy it. This is why rich people do not have a job—they have businesses that work for them. Think about it—you have a job that allows you to earn over 2000 dollars a month, but that takes you over 13 hours a day, 6 days out of 7, so about 11 remain—and usually, the hours of sleep should be at least 7–8 (for a healthy lifestyle). Considering also the displacements and the time lost to go to work, you have 3 to 4 hours left, where you most likely will use 2 for dinner in the evening. In the end, there are 2 actual hours of time per day, which do not allow you to enjoy life to the fullest. You will find yourself having a 2000-dollars-a-month salary (which, nowadays, is nothing) that will continue to accumulate, as you will not absolutely enjoy them in any way. This is what is often called the "rat race." Is there a solution? Yes, it exists, and it is to take part of your money and invest it properly in the financial markets. By doing so, you are letting it work for you. The possibilities are scary and extremely profitable. Do you want one example? Take a look at Apple's stocks. Apple's stocks have risen at a frightening rate in the last 10 years, from $10 to about $100. This means that with an investment of only $ 1,000, you would now have over 10 thousand dollars. This is the power of online investing—it allows you to grow your money in a totally automatic way. Unfortunately, there is no duplication of self to increase the time at work, but instead, you can create an "extension" of yourself—that is, your money—and put it to work. In this way, while you are working for your employer, or while you are at the bar with friends, you can still earn at the same time—thanks to the investment you made. In a very simple way, therefore, you can make your money useful, thus maximizing your earning potential, even if you do not receive an increase in your pay, or even if you do not decide to make an extraordinary one, or you are looking for a more remunerative job. There are many ways to do this. This includes investing your money in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, forex, CFDs or real estate (and many other things), or even starting your own online business (like affiliate marketing). Sometimes, people refer to these options as "investment vehicles," which is just another way of saying "a way of investing."
