You can take risk with your life, you can take risk with your computer.
But nobody would tell you to take risk with them, but they all tell you to take money risk because why?
Because MONEY is the riskiest of all risk!! They tell you to take the riskiest gambling with your life. After you take MONEY risk, you are gambling with your life and death, you loss the money the future await you is hell and death!
Never go full retard!! You can take any risk but never take risk with your MONEY!!
Fuck all the people who tell you to take money risk.
Unfortunately many people don't learn until very late in life that the vast majority of people are simply terrible with money - whether that is accruing "bad" debt, not understanding how certain financial instruments can do wonders over the long run (e.g. index funds or pensions) or fall into any number of easy traps (e.g. taking on large new car finance on a heavily depreciating asset to look "cool"). If you are able to education yourself early in life, I'd say more specifically about stock market investing (ideally through index funds) and simply stick with the slow, steady investments you will enjoy a successful life compared to most. Albert Einstein once said that compound interest is the 8th wonder of the world and it has always been true.
