I think you are completely right. I actually see no risk in investing, why? With each paycheck money is whisked away to "investing land" where it becomes nothing but a number. My investing is like a game to see how big I can get that number before I quit working. My life is great without the money, I don't miss it. If my investment decline it does not affect me at all, I just try harder to win the game (aka save more and maintain my asset allocation). If I never had the money to begin with how can I miss it? How is it risky if it is money I don't need (at least until retirement decades away). Great post. I think you are completely right. I actually see no risk in investing, why?
