. - thanks Ian- lots of information to digest between all of these posts, and as you say, there isn't necessarily one "right" way to look at finances- it has to do with each person's beliefs regarding money, risk tolerance, and overall financial education as well.It's also good to hear when things aren't going so well, because even though it's a bummer, it's part of any type of investing, and I think failures are great teaching tools, plus it keeps us humble and constantly seeking knowledge on our investing journey.Thanks for your feedback!
