If you are working for yourself, you are investing your money trying to accumulate wealth.
If you work for someone else, the only reason you have a job is because someone with wealth is risking their money to generate more wealth, providing you with that “normal living”.
FRiend, people that invest in the market come from all walks of life and every single one of them are trying to gain wealth from their risk.
I have two pensions and my wife continues to work, yet we are invested in stocks. My wife has put a large chunk of her wage into stocks for nearly 30 years. Within the last 3 weeks we have lost 10’s of thousands of dollars that we saved, sacrificed for, put at some risk, and had worked hard to earn.
I don’t know if we will ever get that back and that loss will not be spent by me, and as a result, some poor guy may not keep or have a job.
I am wealthy compared to some and poor compared to others.
Please have a good evening....
Very similar to my own situation.

Yep and nobody gave you or me what we have earned, either through that 9 to 5 thing or the stock market or any other way we honestly obtained it. I envy no one who has accumulated wealth honestly, no matter how much of it they have
