Not significant other but my family does not seem particularly supportive. The concept of taking risks and sacrifices today for potential future benefits is completely foreign to them. Pretty irritating. I don't have anyone cheering for me. It seems they are just waiting for me to any day announce that I have chained myself to another cushy office desk job and collecting the chunky pay check. Just recently I had to break it down for my mother. I'll cut it short but basically I told her "If you are someone with a bunch of money you can invest it all in low-risk government bonds and wait for 50 years or you could show up at the casino and gamble it all in one game. They are the opposite ends of the risk spectrum. Never taking any risk is just as bad as taking huge crazy risks like gambling all your life in a game of poker. There's some middle ground. You gotta take a few shots while you have the time.".
