Our mindset was "we'll do this because it is obviously strategic, but we'll have to endure it." 

Frankly, we all deserve a medal for simultaneously enduring a global pandemic and a gruesome presidential election cycle.

I have lost my entire life’s savings from losses upon losses endured in 2015 and 2016.

If you're interested in strong total returns, without having to endure negative cash flows in the short run, then I don't think you'll find a better market.

You can drastically reduce the amount of stress you will endure when you have enough reserves that you can just write a check and know that it is part of the business.

Man, there are so many bumps and bruises one has to endure on their way up the ladder.

While this is something I can endure, it’s far from ideal for someone who doesn’t have full dexterity with their hands or clear vision.

@Agustin DionicioThis is a very vague question but I will answer based on my belief and my investment outlook.I believe that everyone is different and that it all comes down to personality and individual responsibilities.Some hypotheticals to illustrate:If I was single and had no responsibilities my risk level is off the charts- I would be willing to go 100% in because if I failed, I only have me to worry about and I know as a single individual I can endure some pretty harsh condition and will be able to work my way out.As a married man, I still have the same personal risk level but now I have to consider my other half in the financial decisions.

@Stefon PegramI will suggest you endure your current job for another 1 year.

I also told him in the first email that he gets the benefit of the doubt with me specifically due to the fact that he is a veteran.I also told him that if he did not pay rent, I was not able to cover both my mortgage and the mortgage on the rental property for an extended period of time, without enduring a financial hardship, and that it could possibly be foreclosed.
