Risk management is more important than taking risks. Because without taking risks, you can not be successful. So it is necessary in some period in life to take risks. Then the main concern should be how are you going to face that. So IMO risk management is the most important thing in our life.
So when you say that you are willing to invest 80% of your savings, can you really afford to lose that? Because it is always said that only invest what you can afford to lose. Make a plan and strategy, use a little amount to try its effectiveness. If it works for you, then you can invest based on your plan. Do your own research and as it is your own money, no one have the right to tell you what to do. Do as you feel which could be the best for you.
All of us are taking risks every single day without fully knowing it, for example you decided to not learn something that can help you to grow and to become rich and it is considered as a risk. In life we should know if the risk that we are taking is worth it or not, once we know it then we can improve not only our financial management but also our own self. It is not about just accepting and taking risk, it is about knowing if the risk is worth it or not. We can know if the risks are worth through good risk management, deep thinking, analying, and through past data that we can use in order to create a wise decision.
I'll give you guys a good scenario, my friend introduce me on new investment and the rewards are high base on his opinion, the question is will I make an investment just because I have been told? The answer is NO because I do not have enough data yet and for me the risks are too high wherein the probability of losing my money is much higher than making a return so I may pass if that scenario happen to me. You see I already identified if the risks are worth it or not.
