Coming from someone that apparently lives in one of the cheapest villages, seems funny to hear advice that we should all spend our money.
Most of us don't have pensions and don't have millions of dollars stashed away. Investing allows the rest of us to let our money run out at a slower rate and allows us to spend a lot more on the things we care about than if we just had the money sitting in the bank and had to pinch pennies to make sure things don't run out.
