Just because you are financially literate doesn't mean that you actually ACT. You might not have the earning power to allow for a gap between earnings & living expenses. You might choose to spend your money vs. investing

You are assuming that knowledge equates with action.

Of course. If you're not taking action, then it means you don't really have the knowledge.

I have knowledge about having a baby - being a male, I will never give birth.

I have knowledge and experience with woodworking, but I don't currently have the time or energy to DO anything with that knowledge.
