Do you believe that investment is for lazy people?

[abhiseshakana]

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.

This means that sometimes people think that doing business and any work requires hard work, so they think it is better to invest money in one place and take their savings, whereas by investing money once in this work, you can get profit later. That is why this saying is sometimes said in a humorous way that investing is a sign of lazy people, but it is not for lazy people. For good investment, you have to do research and face risks. Sometimes the work that gives us profit can also cause loss many times. Therefore, before deciding, we should think carefully about this work to see if this work is good for us or not, in which we should be patient and not be hasty so that tomorrow we can avoid any kind of loss. And where we want to invest, we should ask some people so that we can ask whom and maybe they can give us good advice.

From my own experiences and observation, calling people who choose investment instead of business is not proper. People who do investment thinks beyond today needs, which mean he is not lazy because he has long term orientation which actually take many effort and investing as an action of their thinking. People who do investment normaly has a healthy stable cashflow with surplus. So, we can not assume people who has surplus cashflow as lazy people because they created value and get paid.

When people decide investment as tools to change money become asset, its mean they are asset builder who transform salary become productive asset. They truly understand that value of their salary will be different during time which mean they understanding the value of time. They don't stop after investing because they always think how How does their money work too? When people do capital allocation, assume they are not only an income seekers, they aware about how, where, how much. Long process many consideration, too complicated for a lazy people.

Oftentimes, people think of investing as a process of making money without doing anything. So, technically, after you have invested, you are making money without doing anything. The most difficult aspect is researching opportunities, handling risk and remaining patient when markets get volatile. People who invest without researching the stocks they are buying are more likely to lose than to win. However, the disciplined investor may spend less time engaged in day-to-day operational activities than a business owner. But may make up for this with careful planning and long-term thinking. Investing is not for the lazy person. It's for someone who is willing to make smart decisions and give time their due.

When viewed in terms of activity, of course most people will see that someone who invests can make money without doing anything or without working like people in general. That's the conclusion I came to about the neighbors who are in my environment. But I myself see this as a smart way to get profits, even with other things like affiliates that can also make profits in the same way, and this does not mean only dilakaukana by people who are lazy but this is the use of technological developments, in essence if it can work smart then there is nothing wrong to do it.

That's right. If, as you say, your neighbors' perception is that they only see the end result earning money without having to go to the office every day they assume investing is an instant, effortless way. In fact, investing isn't for lazy people. To invest, we must constantly seek information and find the right strategy. However, investing works intelligently by utilizing systems, technology and capital.

In conclusion, perhaps investing is for people who are lazy to work every day, but not lazy to think. Because truly lazy people for example who don't want to learn and are impatient, usually end up losing money in the market. So, it's not accurate to say that investing is for lazy people quite the opposite is true.

You just hit the nail on the head, this point you gave here is something many people don't understand. For the fact that one choses to focus on Long term investment doesn't mean they are lazy it could be that they already have something in hand like business that is sustaining them,  so for that they can start planning for the future since they have nothing to worry about in the short term. Many people think that those who are investing for long term instead of going for short term profit didn't know what they are doing, or they are lazy. they are doing that because they don't know what the future holds, so they wouldn't want a situation where they will be struggling in the future because all this things we are getting in short term is just temporary I mean the jobs/ business, it might crash one day that is why it is important to consider the future even while trying to utilize the opportunity that is giving to you in the short term.

Yes I agree with you, To get profit first step is to make it's acknowledgement among the customers that require utmost or tireless effort. every business at least first three to four  years demanding keen attention around a clock. But after few years when you succeed to get the customer trust or maintain every settlement then you can get relaxed. But investment is not work in the favour of lazy people. I am involved in a business where we settled an agreement between me and my patner. I am running a school where I put my entire effort for it's progress,but my partner invested or bear all expenses. It doesn't mean that my patner is a lazy person. Due to involvement in different projects, or due to the shortage of time he made his trust on me. Or also focus on expanding the business which is core need of today's time to meet the expenses in this period of inflation

Whether you invest for long term in Bitcoin or do day trading, you need to remain vigilant since these things are not for lazy people. Investing in bitcoin doesn't mean that you buy bitcoin today and after few weeks or months you will sell that for some profit. Bitcoin investment require proper strategy i.e. you need to figure out that whether you are going to adopt DCA or opt for lump sum. You will also see time during the course of your investment that your portfolio will be in negative and you have to patiently bear that situation. All this is possible only if you are are up to date about Bitcoin market. 

It is certain that there is considerable risk involved in investing and it is important to be aware of it. The mentality of many investors nowadays is exactly that, they want to profit in a very short period of time but this is a wrong step. Yes, I believe, using the DCA strategy after investing reduces a lot of risk. And the DCA strategy is best for dealing with recessionary periods. But these times many are afraid to invest. Because the money invested earlier decreases a lot. But patience can help in this but fear always creates obstacles.

The financial markets are always risky and it is an error to think that one can make instant profits. Since excessive fear is one of the problems that are likely to arise when there is a global recession, regular installment plan can go a long way in discouraging excessive fear. Sudden fall in prices in the market is an investor whose greatest weapon is patience.

Patience play important role in every of the activities we do, that is why every successful person had patient before they get to the level they are now. Life is very difficult during recession and it is very difficult to invest in that particular time but going by the DCA method, it's actually make things easier because no matter how your investment will not stop. The discretionary income that was used to make an investment will only reduce for that particular period and that is why patience is the greatest weapon.

To invest, the investor must be involved in various activities. If someone wants to invest in an asset, he must do research on that asset. He must make a long-term plan for that asset. There is a possibility of being influenced by emotions for various reasons, the investor must control that emotion with his knowledge and intelligence. The investor must also review the risk of that asset. Although these are not considered work physically, in reality they are definitely part of mental work, which is why we can never consider an investment only for lazy person.

Some investment provide stability, while others offer greater risk and greater growth opportunities.

You are right investment is not just about sitting around with money.
But also not all investment require time every day. Real issue is what type of investment you are choosing and what your goals are.

If you choose startups, businesses, real estate or active trading then it definitely require time, skill and continuous learning.
It's not just about throwing money into it and sitting back. Decision-making and proper management play a much bigger role.

Other hand, if you choose investment like fixed deposit or bonds then they are relatively passive, require less regular monitoring and provide predictable income. There is one catch, though. These investments are never completely risk-free. You still have to deal with inflation, interest rate and issuer risk.

If someone can earn regular income from investing, then he can spend his time on other activities, which can later make him more profitable, that is, he can be involved in other activities at that time, which definitely does not mean laziness. If someone refrains from everything after making an investment, he does not have to do anything else, then it will be identified as lazy person.

Anyway, an investor's goal should not be just to get income without working. But to create assets that will help build wealth in long run. Passive income is good but if someone relies solely on safe fixed returns and doesn't try to increase their knowledge, skill or productive activities, then their growth is unlikely to be significant.

The best approach is to choose investments according to your risk tolerance.

Not yet, investment ia not for lazy people but for smart people want to increase their assets, I think is wrong way talking about investment for lazy people because trough investment have bigger chance get increasing our assets values. Actually not any related side between lazyness and investment depend on someone how smart way increasing their assets values trough investing but have much knowledge about investment way.

Good investment requires planning, research, patience and the ability to make the right decisions, only those who have these can invest. Now if a lazy person does not have these, then he will not be able to achieve any good benefit from investment. If someone thinks that nothing is needed in investing, that only by investing in something can one be successful, then he is definitely wrong.
Investment is not just about putting money in an asset, where is being invested, what is the future potential of that asset, how much risk is involved and for how long will the investment be made, we must understand these things in advance before investing.

And yes, if someone is really lazy, then he may not want to do so much research before investing, maybe he may not want to do any kind of research, then in this case I can say without any doubt that investment is not for him. If you invest without sufficient knowledge just by listening to others or hoping for quick profits, that investment will definitely face failure. Therefore, nothing is possible without hard work, and for this it is important to abandon laziness.

Absolutely right. Investing isn't passive income for the lazy, even though it might seem lazy because you can earn money while sleeping, but the process behind it is quite difficult. As you said, they must manage risk and be disciplined these are all major challenges. When they're lazy, they'll naturally become failed investors, not because of poor analysis but because they panic-sell when it goes down and become greedy when it goes up. Furthermore, the market is always changing and unpredictable, so they must continue learning; they can't just learn once and then become completely passive. From this point alone, investing isn't for the lazy.

So, in essence, investing does require hard work, but the form of work is different from other forms of work, such as business or being an employee. Investing relies more on brainpower, patience and long-term discipline. Other jobs like business or being an employee rely more on execution. Therefore, successful investors are rarely lazy.

‎When I read the headline at first, I found it quite provocative, but taking a closer look through Iyinoluwa Aboyeji’s comment, what I understood from a deeper perspective has more to do with entrepreneurship versus passive allocation.
‎
‎Where I got interested and had some agreement with him was when he cited a well known figure like Elon Musk, who built his current wealth status primarily by deeply embedding himself in the grueling daily execution of his companies Tesla and SpaceX task, by being an active person, rather than operating as only a traditional portfolio investor.
‎I agree that investment is more for the realistic kind of person than it is for every kind of Tom, Deke or Harry.
‎
‎To me, this is more of a call to attention and a challenge to those who doubt their abilities and capabilities, to start their own businesses with the experience and ideas you have, because even though investment in any kind of asset including Bitcoin is a smart move to build long term wealth, building a business could amplify your wealth and change society in more economic and job opportunitistic ways than mere investment ever could.
‎
‎So I ask,
‎Do you believe that investment is for lazy people?

Investment is not for lazy people but investment is for smart people. The reason for this is that without investment you can never become rich you can earn a certain amount of money by working and with that you can meet your daily expenses but to enjoy a good life you must invest you have to do a business from which you can earn unlimited money. Lazy people can never do anything good only by investing you cannot get good returns you must invest in the right place and only smart people can do that. So I do not agree that investment is for lazy people

A wise person would agree that investment requires patience planning research and right decision and only a wise person can benefit from investment.But if an ordinary person spends money on investment instead of doubling the money the capital will disappear and he will not be ready for any more assets.Whereas only those who know the skill of investment can invest in different assets.Yes if it is possible that if an ordinary person wants to invest at all costs then he can invest with an experienced person.But the condition is that this person has to evaluate everything what is the loss and what is the profit.He should know everything.Then he can make a successful investment and the most important thing is not to act hastily in investing.If you are greedy in getting money then even the capital can be lost.

I really don't think investment are for lazy people, because I believe it takes a lot for anyone to decide to invest.  I know most people believe that if you are not doing a hard job, then you are lazy, but they forget that working with your brain is also a hard job to do. I really think that it take a lot to invest,  you have to be calculative and you also have to do a lot of brain storming before you even decide to invest, so I really don't agree that those that are into investment are lazy people.

[alastantiger]

Whatever you do, you should determine where you are investing. The bottom is, whatever you do with the money is an investment. For example: business. But nowadays everyone wants to invest risk free and want to earn money, which is not possible. So investing is never for lazy people, for example : investing in Bitcoin requires having enough knowledge about the market, even monitoring constantly. Which a lazy person cannot execute properly. after all, long term planning should proceed.

Not everybody can become a successful business man or woman but because people do not want to be lazy they go into business instead of them being wise and allowing their money to work for them while they use their time to work for more money so as to get more capital for investing. Investment does not make you lazy instead it makes you smarter because it teaches you on how to differentiate between good investment and bad investment.


For you to become a successful investor you have to have done many research and that is why investing cannot make you lazy instead it will make you proactive. Doing a business is good but if everybody is doing a business then who is going to become the consumer, instead of starting a business that will fail just because you want to be called a business person, I would rather become an investor that make good use of my money wisely.
