Consumer goods are the fun stuff - the things we buy to make our lives more enjoyable. They can be tangible, like a new TV, or , like a music streaming service. We use them, and then they're either used up or become outdated.
On the other hand, we've got capital goods. These are the things that help us make more things - like machinery, equipment, and buildings. They're not meant to be used up, but rather to help us create more consumer goods. It's like the difference between a recipe book and a kitchen appliance - one helps you make food, while the other is used to make the food.
