Not all of them though.
There are a lot of people out there that is not even an investor but they know a lot of things they should do and not should do. To be honest, I don't even know what is the requirements or a classification of a person to achieve that kind of being an investor, can anyone explain that?
Totally agree with the bolded.
Whether one is spending or investing has to do with
choice and does not require one to be a 'common man' or 'investor'.
If one choice to be poor in the years to come, its a simple choice by being lazy and spend recklessly and if they chose not to beg in the years to come, they work hard for it and learn to measure expenses. They don't go about terming themselves anything; it's all about how they live their lifestyle.
