Many are, yes, but as stars go, the sun (a type K star) will have a relatively long life - about 10 billion years. It is roughly half-way through it's life now. Smaller red stars can have even longer lives. The giant blue-white stars tend to have the shortest lives, some lasting 100 million years or less (very, very short-lived).
