What is Return on Investment (ROI)?
When you invest time, energy, or money into something, you expect something back, like planting a seed and getting a tree full of fruit. In financial terms, this is called Return on Investment (ROI). ROI measures the gain or loss generated by an investment in comparison to how much it originally cost you. It's like checking if your seeds turned into a fruitful orchard.
