Do you believe that investment is for lazy people?

[Tungbulu]

Investments are not for lazy people, investing in something takes a lot of mental discipline and consistent efforts and this isn't something that a lazy person is capable of doing. Lazy people cannot do anything consistently because they have chosen to remain comfortable without making progress. Running an investment is difficult and you cannot expect someone that's lazy to be able to do that. Laziness is a choice and people who exhibit such choose to remain in their comfort zone.

Well there are people who are mentally lazy and there are those who are physically lazy, there are types of laziness, and different people might actually define laziness in different ways too. You know some people view people who decide not to do physical work or activities as lazy, without considering their mental capacity.

[Somegory]

If investment is truly for the lazy people then lazy people are the smartest, they are the ones that find solution to problems faster just like a popular figure said some time in the past,

There are too many millionaires around the world that made in it life via investment, Robert Kiyosaki is one of them, even in America alone some old men all made their millions from investing alone

Good luck to anyone that believes that investment is for the lazy people, even in my country alone, one of the biggest billionaires here made his money from investments, especially lands alone.

[Kelward]

I don't believe that investment is for lazy people because before you can be an investor it means that you have earned surplus money from somewhere and instead of keeping the money in the bank you decide to diversify your funds into an asset that will be giving you ROI. You cannot just start an investment from thine air you must have worked hard to make the money so I think that it is wrong to call an investor in a profitable asset a lazy person.

On the only ground that I can say that an investor is not enterprising is if the investor perhaps inherited or was gifted money and they invested everything and just relax and be waiting for dividends to survive, it means that they cannot grow bigger than their dividends, also such an investor would lose their capital if the asset company goes bankrupt. But for business people or income earners who are diversifying their hard earned money into investment they are wise financial managers.

[Minor Miner]

No one can succeed by being lazy, and many people have become successful through investing. So saying that investing is only for lazy people is wrong.

However, there are many lazy investor. Many do not want to spend time learning, researching, or following the market. Instead, they simply invest based on other people's advice and hope to make a profit without putting in much effort. Worse still, many people borrow money to invest hoping to get rich quick instead of working and saving up capital before investing.
There are many lazy investor in the market. Not all investors are as hardworking and patient as people make them out to be.

From my point of view, I would say that investment is not for lazy people, investment is applicable to those people who can give proper status to investment and can invest properly. If you invest from home and without gaining any experience, you can never succeed in investment, you definitely need patience and experience to invest. Investment is never applicable to those who do not have patience, who do not have experience and cannot provide proper security for investment, so I want to say that to invest, a person must be proficient in all aspects, he cannot be lazy.

[Doan9269]

Investment is not for lazy people and anyone use discover that is interested in making a business investment is definitely not a lazy type, a lazy man will always procrastinate any opportunity renders to him not to even start doing something at all, a lazy man will always want to take advantage of those that are doing things without making any efforts to join them doing something similar, a lazy man lacks initiatives and does not think constructively for what he should do that could help change his situation for good, so if you see someone doing a business and it fail, it could be lack of competency and not because he is lazy, does not have the ability of managing a business and yet are not lazy.

[Joeboy]

‎So I ask,
‎Do you believe that investment is for lazy people?‎

Investment requires capital.. So if an individual is lazy there is obviously no way of getting the capital/or funds to invest, this should automatically answer your question OP... The truth is that investment isn't just only done with Bitcoin or Real estate, even though those are the most popular.. The process of having a business is already an investment already... The truth is that Investment and Entrepreneurship are like two side of the same coin, so folks cannot even be an entrepreneur without first being an investor, who invest their time and money into making sure that their businesses thrive..

I read that guy's post on through a social media  handle on X and quite agree from his perspective but on a general perspective, I do not agree that investment is got lazy people, reason being some who is investing is also working, and that is how they made the money they used for the investment, if they are or were very lazy enough to also not be working, they won't have that money to invest, this is the area we also need to look at this from.

And another important thing again is that we must consider the fact that not every body will start and run a business or go into building projects, if for example, every one in this this world go into building businesses and project simply because they don't want to called or referred to as lazy, who becomes their investors?

So like I said before, he's perspective on the matter is right, but generally speaking, investors are not lazy people, his business wouldnt have reached the level it is today without the same investors he referred to as lazy people. He only said this to encourage more people to go into building businesses and projects since this is one thing we are economically lacking in Africa.

Any physical or mental laziness is harmful to you. This laziness is caused by irresponsibility. If your family's financial situation is prosperous, earning money will not be of much importance to you. On the contrary if your family situation is not prosperous you will develop a mentality of getting into a good financial position and you will gradually become more efficient and will move towards earning money by acquiring skills in work.

[Nightwatchmare]

That is a no, no to me. Investment is never for a lazy people, it is for those who  have the ambition to be rich in future coming. When you talk about investment, it is basically putting your money to a company or business which you think will generate profits in future coming. Some of the rich men you see today, who are millionaires and billionaires are investors. For you to be an investor you need to be calculative, smart and ready to investigate what ever you want to invest in. A lazy man will never even sit down and think of making a research on the company or business he wants to invest in, and he will not be willing to take a risk, lazy people just know how to make a quick money by thinking if you invest 200k in space of two days you are getting back 300k which is not possible to get, at that space of time.

It's funny to read questions like that because for the majority of people who don't win the lottery or get to inherit some fortune when their parents pass away, it is actually quite a long and hard slog before investments really start to pay off. The other major point is that you must first earn a lot of money, primarily through long hours or a tough job, before you even have anything to invest. That's after paying off all your other bills in life while committing to saving that little bit extra off the top. Unlike the movies people generally don't strike it lucky and buy into a share that grows 10k into a million in a year, it actually takes a lot of steady adding over the course of decades before it really starts to pay off.

[Bluedrem]

Investment is not for lazy people. Rather, those who are hardworking and think about the future are the ones who mainly go towards investment. They earn while they have time and save thinking about the future. Because they know that it will not be possible to earn for the entire period of their life. So they imagine the time when they will not be able to earn and save. So that they do not have to suffer financially in the future. And lazy people do not think about the future, they just want to manage their lives in some way.

[savetheFORUM]

No one can succeed by being lazy, and many people have become successful through investing. So saying that investing is only for lazy people is wrong.

Maybe what he mean is the action. Because investing is indeed more on the passive side. But that being said, this should be one of the dreams of a lazy person. The one that they won't do an active/tedious work but still can earn money, even much more than the other.

However, there are many lazy investor. Many do not want to spend time learning, researching, or following the market. Instead, they simply invest based on other people's advice and hope to make a profit without putting in much effort.

This is only the thing. For sure the lazy people that I said earlier can be like this. And they may not even have the capital yet to be used for investing, given that they are lazy and has no job that earns them money at first. But I would say that it is better to take someone else advice than to be random on our own. It should give us a better chance and there are still genuine influencers out there anyways. It is not only knowledge but it is also about instincts, to know if the person is sincere or only has a hidden agenda. So even a lazy person can have a better judgement on this regard.

[Findingnemo]

Investment is for the smart people who don't really need to take all the risk but still can enjoy the success of any company in the world by being an investor in their company's stock or whatever the asset is. It is for everyone but the one who gives more intention to investment than opening their own business are the people who are afraid of taking big risks.

[LGD2Business]

I don't understand how you came to that conclusion. Do you think investing is easy? Aren't there risks involved in investing? Just as starting a business is risky, investing is risky in its own way. It's not certain that returns will always exceed inflation. Even term deposits, which seem to be the safest, can turn out to be bad investments because their returns fall short of inflation. Lazy people succeed neither in business nor in investing.

[Versatile_choice]

Investments are not for lazy people, investing in something takes a lot of mental discipline and consistent efforts and this isn't something that a lazy person is capable of doing. Lazy people cannot do anything consistently because they have chosen to remain comfortable without making progress. Running an investment is difficult and you cannot expect someone that's lazy to be able to do that. Laziness is a choice and people who exhibit such choose to remain in their comfort zone.

I'm also on the view that investment is not for lazy people, maybe some people don't know what laziness means. Once a person is lazy they hardly do thing in the right way or follow the right procedure. I'm not disputing on the fact that an Investor might be lazy of course laziness is something very common, but it's optional. I mean you can only be lazy if you want to, but if you don't also want to be lazy then you will sit up work hard to get what you want, laziness is when you set expectations but you can't work hard to get it.

[Russlenat]

I don't think lazy people can handle investment well and make it profitable. Because even in different aspects, active or passive income, such lazy people will never be an asset but maybe a huge barrier for the success of an investment.

And with all honesty, lazy people do not create progress in life, but they always manifest to live a progressive and profitable life. That's how ironic lazy people are.

Thanks for explaining it here. At least you saved us a few minutes of reading that article.

Anyway, I know that businesses makes rich people or at least most rich people right now are into business, but let's not forget that NOT ALL people are built to have a business. Some really don't have the skills or knowledge to be on that field. I know that skills can be learned, and knowledge can be earned, but there are people who doesn't see themselves as a businessman.

Also, let's face the fact that being an investor isn't for the lazy people, but it's for the intelligent people who wants to preserve their money because inflation is eating their fiat. Investing isn't for the weak-hearted though, but it's for the people who wants to make money while holding something like shares or Bitcoin for example.

It makes sense with what you say about investments that require capital and for lazy people of course they tend to probably not have the capital to do it, although there is a possibility they have money but they will use it for other things that are more interested even though it does not have a profit side.

And I agree with you, with a business that is started and developed it makes sense to also be said as an investment, it's just the difference that we go down directly to run it unlike investing in BTC which we only need to buy and buy.

You can't say that investment is for lazy people. First of all, to reach to the level where you become an investor, you have to work hard to collect some wealth but even if we assume that you come from a rich family, being an investor still doesn't mean that you are lazy because investing requires research, risk management, patience and the ability to smartly allocate your capital.

Also, there are people who want more in life than others and Elon Musk is a good example of someone who wants more in life, to achieve it his own way with his own rules and decisions, that's it.
