Interesting post @getonthetrain. The only one that surprised me was number 7 - THE RISKIEST THING YOU CAN DO IS TAKE NO RISK.
Probably because the one time when we took a big risk, although it didn't look like one at that time, we lost big time and are still paying for it nine years later!
Things went well for the first three years and then the banking crisis made it next to impossible to remortgage and the company who had our money went bankrupt.
I suppose it was just unlucky since very few people predicted the banking crisis that unfolded.
Ah well. Onwards and upwards. 😊
Just because you 'lost' once, don't let that experience turn you off from it. You should be investing in something. I know the returns in England aren't the best, but you don't have to invest in England.
We are investing @getonthetrain but I don't have much time to learn about riskier stuff, or interest for that matter, so we're moving money around these days.
Any spare time I have for this I'm putting into learning about crupto so we can start investing here.
