If it is risks with money that you want to take you have to accept losing money. Our attitudes to money run deep and I lost out on making a lot of money in crypto due to ‘fear of loss’. On the other hand risk aversion is what keeps the person with $1m from unnecessarily losing it all so there is a balance. You could use a context like “I’ll live in a shared house and save $1000 a month in rent and put that on the share market” to help justify risk, at worse you are swapping one dead money for another. I also recommend letting go of regret in not investing if you have any. It’s not worth it; move on. Also being risk averse is not a bad thing in itself by the way. If you want to stay risk averse and have a chance of getting rich then skilling up and trying small “mvp” style projects is the way to go IMO. I recommend the free stuff Amu Hoy puts out for a general idea but she leaves a lot of gaps so you’ll need the course. I’d of happily paid for that course but I don’t like waiting lists for stuff I want now so I just started taking action on a side project and learned from experience.
