Your 20s and 30s are the sweet spot for taking calculated risks—that's when you can actually afford to fail and bounce back. But here's the thing: make those bets with your own money, not your parents' savings. The real lesson isn't about getting rich quick; it's about learning what you're capable of when the stakes are yours alone. That's how you build real financial wisdom.

That's right, the true golden period for trial and error is in your twenties and thirties, but the key is to bet with your own money; otherwise, you won't learn much.

That's right. You can only learn by using your own money to experiment; relying on parental support isn't really risky.

Ah... you're so right. The money lost in my twenties was really just tuition fees. You can only learn from your own money.

That's right. You can only truly learn by using your own money; otherwise, it's just armchair strategizing.

ngl this hits different when you're the one holding the bags... ever notice how risk tolerance completely shifts once it's actually YOUR money on the line? that's not just financial wisdom, that's trauma-driven portfolio construction lmao
