It can really depend on the stage of life you're in. Our lives can be defined by the amount of time we have left. When you are in your twenties, you can afford to earn money and then make mistakes with it, because you can make it back as long as you don't go too wild. When you're in your 30's you might have a bigger savings pot but want to regulate the riskiest activities so you don't lose it. In your 40's and 50's it can be much harder to recover from mistakes. This relates to the compounding effect of invested money, which can take many decades to grow into a large sum.
You know what, tho? I feel like this is not really the case anymore. Many millennials and gen z’s are on their 30s or almost but still do not have their own families. They’re not married nor have kids. When you are not working for the future of your children, you can indulge in a little risk every now and then. I don’t think it’s about the age but the security of your financial situation and who are you working for. If you are just alone in life in the sense that you are not the breadwinner of your family, you are not married nor a parent, you can take some risks and if it ends up being successful then congratulations.
Not working for the future of our children or family is actually a big risk. Firstly, we can starve them and they can get sick or worse die later on.
We won't also have the money in order for them to go to school or higher levels of it, since some can offer free and cheap education for small children. I know, maybe you can say little risk because we are mostly staying on our homes. You still got a point there since if we are outside and if our jobs is in a construction and similar, the risk of them for us to get injured is high. It does depend on the age. As they say it is better to start early.
I believe on it, so that we can be able to do more. It must only be on the proper age of course. I know there is a law about child labouring, so we can't start at a very young age as well. And when applying for a job, most of them will hardly accept mature and old people.
If we are still single and not a breadwinner, maybe it is fine to calm down for a while and enjoy our youth, as there are also those who regret that they didn't take this for granted when they have the chance because it is kinda impossible for them to do it now on their current situation where they now have their own responsibilities in life.
