There are several external factors that can impact your income. Investing could help you enjoy the following benefits:
Manage Inflation
Cost of living has increased, and no matter where you live, everything around has become more expensive. So, over time, you need more money to buy the same quantity / quality of goods or services. Returns earned from your investments can enable you to manage your inflation-related financial burden better.
Manage Personal Financial Crisis
Personal emergencies sometimes cause financial stress. An emergency fund, through the returns on your investments, can help manage some of your financial stress.
Emergency fund = ready cash at home (about 20% of the fund amount) + investment in a highly liquid investment solution to withdraw whenever the need be.
Enjoy Unearned Income
Interest, dividends, bonus, capital gains, etc can be unearned income to be used during a financial emergency or for managing inflation or for creating wealth

And with every increase in your income, the list only gets longer. Investments, big or small, made over a period of time, can enable you to make your dreams a reality.
Create Financial Security
Investing, no matter how small you begin, provides financial security, as it creates wealth that can be used for your planned / unplanned financial goals.
Most dreams are linked to money and by regularly investing a calculated amount of your income in appropriate investment solutions;you can make your money work as hard as you do towards achieving your goals.
