It's not talking about the purchase, but the intended benefit. The physical benefit.
As Redlemon pointed out, even the dictionary demonstrates that "investment" does not always refer to a monetary investment. It's more about an intended beneficial outcome after spending or devoting something now. As such, it's entirely proper.
