what's the argument here? investing has risks?

  That it would, in fact, suck to go from 670/yr to 0 - unemployment.

    Not necessarily. Since my wife and I married 8 years ago, we’ve never spent more that 40% of our combined income annually. I haven’t had consistent income for almost 9 months now as I am attempting to transition from a blue collar lifestyle (carpenter and electrician) to become a web developer. I wrote my first html and qbasic code back in the 90s but I always told myself that I could never be anything other than a tradesmen because of my upbringing. Now I’m looking to change that and it’s only possible because we’ve been so frugal.
