The reality is everybody is an investor and its far easier to shoot for the moon when you don't have financial troubles or obligations. As you can see many investors do this when they have money (literally shoot for the moon... or mars in some cases). As an investor you need to act like a real investor and look past emotional biases and constantly ask yourself... is this a good investment. There are so many things you can invest in besides startup equity. For example you could just make a decent salary at a company and buy affordable rental property (I'm not saying its always a smart idea but there just so many things to invest and any investor would say putting all your eggs in one basket.. etc.).
