First you invest in stock market only if you have speculative income, that is money left over after you have enough for your transaction spending and precautionary spending. Otherwise it will turn out to be gambling.
Benifits are many and a few of them are,
by picking up the right stocks you allocate resources efficiently menaing you pay the hardworking with their livelyhood.
Second is you can protect your wealth from loosing value meaning inflation hedge.
Third as a responsible adult you can participate in helping the government to create a market for securities.
Last but not the least you can make some money for yourselves if you are a shrewd investor.

One word "performance". The stock market, in the long term (20 years/50 years/100 years etc...) has out-performed every other investment vehicle. Investing $100 in the stock market in 1920 will give you about 40 million dollars today. No other investment can match that.

You may get dividends. The value of your stock may increase. The money you are investing is not being wasted on something you do not need to buy.
You have some collateral if you have to take out a loan.
