- adrianN 10y agoYou always have a lot to lose, especially if you're poor.
- animal531 10y agoLogically yes, but in practical psychology people tend to hold on tighter when they have less.
- blubb-fish 10y agoThis is a nihilistic approach which only works in theory - especially when you have a family to support. And nobody has nothing to lose - I mean even poor people have a flat - but risking to lose the roof over your head would be plain stupid. End of story - if you know papa and mama will transfer some cash if you are in need - then taking risks is easy.
- rubber_duck 10y agoI mean it worked for me. I took some really risky decisions that could easily result in me being homeless, etc. Most of them paid out so far. I guess it's up to your priorities - I would rather fail hard than settle for being where I am right now in the long term - taking risks is the only option.
