Differences between an investor and common man!

[traderethereum]

An investor is anyone who makes enough money to spare and invest it in projects. An investor lets his money make profits for him while he sleeps. A common man, on the other hand, is one who struggles to make enough money to meet his basic needs. The understanding of business between both of these people is completely different - to me its a rich dad, poor dad kinda thing  .

In fact, the clear cut difference between an investor and the common man lies within the professionalism an investor will show towards businesses and other forms of projects in order to double, triple or increase their earnings through profit making.  Common mean normally depend on their monthly salary and are not into investments , hence will show little enthusiasm and professionalism towards projects that offer investment opportunities.

The investor will spend their time to search profitable project so they can invest in the right project.
Related to the crypto, they will gather more and more data before they decide, and they will know how much money they need to invest.
The common man doesn't know about that, and some of them follow what other people say without research more about the project so they could get a scam in the middle of the phase.
Yes, sometimes it's related to the professionalism between the investor and the common man, but that will not affect too big.
We could choose what we want to be, so we don't have to be the wrong person in the wrong places and time.
Maybe the other difference between the investor and common man is about how much money each of them will use in investing in the project.
The investor will use the money they are ready to lose, but the common man will use all of their money because they believe the project will succeed.

I'll share my thoughts. I wasn't an investor until I came to crypto. Why did I become an investor? In order to receive a percentage of income. And I had the opportunity, desire and means for this. In principle, these are all the differences.

Being an investors has always been there, even before the beginning of cryptocurrency.
Just that cryptocurrency exposed it and made most people understand that one can save and input money to gain and not spend unnecessarily. So, it does not have to be on cryptocurrency, you can choose to spend recklessly or save wisely.

Not all of the investors can do that.

It is true that investors want that but to be honest, they don't stop.

Despite them putting money, facing risks in order to earn profits out of it. Common man also invests, so I don't think there is a difference. The only thing that they are different is that being an investor is their occupation, the common man has their jobs but they also invest, that means investing is not their only job. Even poor people are investing since they don't have that much money to invest, they invest other things like time and skill.

The Rich Dad and poor Dad statement caught my attention, i quickly remember my understanding of the book written by Robert kiyosaki. The common man here can be reference to his poor Dad (real dad) while the investor is his friends dad (rich dad). Their mindset and the way they reason are totally different. While the common man sees something he can't afford, he immediately gives up or uses his salarys to acquire the property which turns into a liability but the investor will invest his or her funds and uses the profits from that investment to acquire that property which turns into an asset when measuring his wealth.

Your statement has few faws though, you should rephrase the sentence referring to a smart investors and not just any investor as only smart investors make money while they sleep. The average investor just invest and make profit while only the smart investors invest in a way their investment automatically turns into a stream of incoming generating money even when they're asleep.

Investors are rich people whose looking for a better earnings to earn more money than their capital. They are priority to have a payments in their in the transactions they invest. While common man is just for the payments like bounty hunters. They just wait for their payments if their income have value in the market. No assurance if they will pay them.

What are the things differ from mindset of common man with investor,please share your thoughts.

IMO,investors never want to take loans for their consumption like home loan,car loan,etc then just save money and will buy the things for their needs but common man like you and me will buy the things immediately when we get the desire of it using loans but we are paying 20% of interest to those kind of loans.

I think not only common people want to take loans but also investors. The only difference between this two is that investors tale loans to make profit using that loan they will invest it unlike common people they take loans to buy the things they want. Therefore an investors think twice than common people. But not all common people is like the scenario I gave.

Yet, we shouldn't forget that many investors, if not most of them, are not making profits from their investments. I mean, it's not a magic formula of success, like "Be investor, don't be a common man!". Sometimes common people are more successful than investors, because the former spend their money on the things they need in everyday life, while the latter just lose their money with some bad investment.

Investors live their life with profits so they can afford to buy more things than common man but there is no simple magic formula to become successful investor,it will take atleast more than a decade to show how successful you are,that much patience will not be there with common people.

I think a common man works himself and earns money, an investor makes his money work and make more money, that is the biggest trick there is. You don't even work yourself, you have money anyway and you make your money work for you instead, that is really a big power if you can master it, you will never have work a day in your life again.

Of course, investment is a job as well if you do it full time and that is how you make your money but after a certain amount of money, you can literally put all your money into great stocks that give good dividends and then you can just live with the dividends while keeping your initial investment intact which will also go up in price over years. That is how some old folks literally made their millions, of course we are in an age where people have hard time just living with the money they have let alone make extra however that doesn't mean you can't use this trick when you have money.

It doesnt have to take ten years to be an investor and receive a benefit from it, many people own their own business and benefit quite quickly if its a cash business.     A gold mine will take ten years to establish, an incredible amount of patience and money spent is required to set up such an operation and ton of faith that at the end the gold price will justify the costs and pay for the fuel to extract and refine this resource.   Quite a gamble is such an investment but also great rewards are possible.
   On the other hand I had a friend who setup a market stall selling flowers and his investment was far more modest and he knew within a month if it was going to be profitable to continue and make the margin from flowers bought in the morning bulk sale then retailed to customers throughout the days after.   That business can be quite fast and obvious though building up a customer base counts for investment, goodwill and intangibles etc. so theres always some long term benefits.   A standard business cycle is six years I think and taxes and losses can be carried over about 4 years depending on the tax regime in that country.

Small business ideas can act fast when giving returns but the fact is it cannot reach the next level profit like big companies producing profits in stocks.I don't consider people doing business in small scale as investors since they are still in small scale so they are not getting benefits as an investor.

The most obvious difference is that the investor uses the money to make a profit; while the common man simply spends it.
So - obviously if he works well - the investor becomes richer while the common man is poorer.

Normal man obtain fund to satisfy their pressing needs and may end up without positive gain and as you have said, will still have the interest to meet up. Most common men aim to impress in a short time as they spend more on liabilities.

[izanagi narukami]

It's really important for people to keep investing rather than keep the money on bank.

Inflation is the monster !
Being investor will have the advantage not for now but for next 5 or 10 years !

It's not only about patience. I disagree that common people lack patience, what they lack is knowledge in the first place. Working hard they don't have time to learn enough for making a good investment, and they often become victims of some scam projects promising big returns in a short period of time. For those people it's better to not invest in anything at all, and just live with the money they earn. Not everyone can be an investor. It's easy when you earn much more than what you need for everyday life, but if you can barely make ends meet, investment is not for you.

[TrevorS]

If you look more broadly, we can say that all people are investors. We constantly invest our time, in school, in work, in family, in relationships and so on. Someone is investing consciously, someone is not. All people are investors of varying degrees of education and understanding. People who invest their money and time resources correctly are rich, those who do it wrong are poor. Fortunately, we live in an age of information, and anyone can learn what we should be taught from childhood.

common man will never think the two sides of his purchase, it will not think the disadvantages of its every purchase that's why it is yet not good and also they are not risk taker. investors are willing to take risk in their investment and having no regrets in every move they are doing, they are also aware if they are going to invest they can also lose their investment. their emotional capacity is quite strong too unlike common man.

You are not investors if you're not willing to take a risk, because majority of those risks taker will have a good profit but it need deeply research first. Well, the difference between an investor and a common man is the earning. A common man is just depending on his salary or business earnings, unlike investors that you can really assure to earn big profit more than what you are expecting for. Although it's risky still you'll earn big through it.

But remember first how many times you had been studying those critical and minors incidents that might be putting you in risk.
Study+willing to risk= success.

What are the things differ from mindset of common man with investor,please share your thoughts.

In my opinion, investors are similar to entrepreneurs common man is similar to the employee's
point of view. Then from that investor have a greater income usually than the common man.
Because investors are more willing to take risks and are not afraid of failure.
Inversely with the common man who prefers the safe zone, then of it is because of the fear of failure
that most common people work as employees.Because employees have a fixed income.

Now it depends on your choice, each prefers to be an investor or common man. Here there is nothing wrong
in choosing whichever, depending on the method each individual thought.

The difference between an investor and common man is their mindset. Investor mindset understands that the first goal is to gain a surplus of resources, seeks time and energy and use it to continue to generate value on their own, and that pays off in the long run. Common man mindset immediately sees a surplus as an opportunity for consumption, and is only looking into short-term returns.
