What Is The Concept Of Time Value Of Money And 2 Ways It Is Relevant In Financial Planning?

Being in high school, this money investing thing is very confusing. I thought that we saved money by putting it into the bank and when we needed it, just take it out.

    The rate of inflation is higher than the benefit of putting money in the bank (i.e. inflation > than bank interest).
    Say you have $20. You can buy a $20 dvd with that money now. If you put that money in the bank for 5 years, inflation will have caused the price of dvds (and everything) to go up over that 5 years…so dvds now cost $22. You only have $20 in the bank so you can’t buy them. Therefore money is affected by time.
    (Obviously this is a simplified example because dvds will have gone down in price what with new technology etc but you know what I mean I hope).
    I’m sure you can get two ways why its relevent to financial planning out of that.
