Pre-Investor
It seems like you're not really an investor (yet!). You tend to spend more as you earn more, which is probably great for your lifestyle, but not so much for saving and investing.
Passive Investor
You have a good handle on your financials. You have some saving plans in place and you may even own some property. Good for you! When it comes to investing you prefer to play it safe and trust the professionals.
Active Investor
You manage your wealth like a business. Not only do you work hard to make money, but you also work hard to make your money work for you. Active investing isn't for everyone, so consider yourself a unicorn.
