Actually it depends on what risk it is. Sure, I’m risking a lot of money (my savings), time, and career growth opportunities. But I actually don’t think I’m risking anything consequential. If this doesn’t work out for whatever reason, I can always go get a job again that makes ends meet. It doesn’t have to be the same job with the same income. My family’s standard of living is not really at risk with this experiment I’m doing with my career. I’m quite risk averse, but I’m careful to separate what is really worth protecting aggressively from what I can be free to speculate with.
