I must say I agree with your point. In most cases to really hit it big you have to risk it big as well. It's interesting because I view it really differently from you. I'm very risk averse. I feel I've put in 10 years of sacrifice and hard work into this industry. I worked so hard to make that money I protect my base at all costs. I wouldn't be able to deal with losing everything on a risk. It's not worth it. If I was given the choice to take what I have and be happy with that or risk it all to double or triple my money that would be an easy choice for me I'd take what I have and walk away without ever regretting it.

everyone's different. If you asked me 15 years ago before I made good money and had it all if if once I had it if I'd be willing to give it up and start over, I honestly would have said yes. I know that sounds weird, and wasn't something I planned for my last situation, but I've never been afraid of loosing it all.

probally cause I live in canada, grew up poor and look at worst case scenario here - which is a decent apartment and healthcare... all i really need. everything else is gravy and just stuff
