This discussion is not about gambling, it is about investing, but I will use gamblers to make an example.
Using gamblers as an example who start out with just the intention to have fun maybe and then along the line turn into addicted gamblers that gambling begin to affect other areas of their life like their wellbeing like they stop spending on some important things just so they can make money available for gambling. Now talking about investing, I think it is possible to become addicted to investing so much that it begins to affect your wellbeing, like the person stops spending on other important things like good food, good clothes etc. just so they can have more money to invest? Do you consider that kind of addiction dangerous and not good?
Yes, you definitely can get addicted to investing, i did. At first it's understandable that you can't making money without putting some of it to investing. Put at some point you have enough and just keep rising the amount. You start to lose reality when it stops being money and its just numbers, and those numbers are never high enough. I had money to spend definitely, but i was always looking at the next level. Can i buy a car? A house? Can i live year with this? Can i live rest of my life? Can i live a luxury life? Are my children going to be able to live with this after i die?
Nothing is enough. Gladly i have also started to invest myself. I don't even mind where we are on the bull run or bear run. I can't ever sell the absolute top anyway. But if i need to invest to myself, my health or to my kids. I am not looking at the charts at that point. It's no use to invest your money if you don't use it when you have it.
