The question is “Does anyone not invest?”. The poster was basically wondering, if you didn’t have money in the stock market, where did you keep your long term (retirement, etc) savings?  But a second conversation has grown from this- how do people define “investing”?

Many have money in the stock market through 401(k) or 403(b) retirement accounts, but don’t consider themselves investors because they aren’t directing their money. Others figure that if you have any money in the stock market, you’re an investor.

So what about you? Do you have money in the market? Would you call yourself an investor?
