    I think you’ve got to work out what your appetite for risk is. It’s important to do take risks sometimes even if they scare you to move your life forward but also sometimes don’t. I’ve seen a bunch of people really fuck their lives up because they just kept rolling the dice.

      But what is “fucking your life up”? What is the end goal of life that you have to achieve, else you failed your life?

        One of my goals in life is to not become impoverished due to bad financial decisions, and think of how many people quit their jobs to try to make a successful game just for their plan to not work out and them then trying to somehow get their lives back in order so they won’t become homeless.

        Despite this being a question for everyone to answer on their own, continuously failing risky bets and losing everything to it does not look like it will be a popular answer

          But why would you even care about popularity? Right wing movements are also popular right now. I don’t think popularity is any important measure at all to determine if something is right/wrong/good/bad
