Earnings are the money you get from doing chores or from a job.
So, if you get $5 for taking out the trash, that’s your earnings.
You can also get earnings from doing a job, like working at a store or restaurant.
Savings

You get savings when you don’t spend all of your earnings.
For example, if you earned $10 from doing chores and you only spent $6 on candy, you would have $4 left over.
That $4 is your savings.
Investing

It means putting your money somewhere so it can grow and make more money for you.
For example, you can put your money in a stock, bond, or CD. These are all types of investments.
