Yeah, that's the problem i am facing now haha!
I agree, i fully understand risk and all, i do my research on the diff risk associated with the investment.
just, the problem for me is that at a fancy restaurant, I choose better food > saving.
then i dun have much to save and invest.

U are asking for help with something no one can help with.
ie
U prefer & prioritize FOOD over ASSETS
No wrong, no right - it's YOUR CHOICE and reasonings
How can others help U ar?
Just like my old ex-company's vendor, turned friend
She bitches about how to save more, where to invest, blah blah.. then go buy 2 new cars (1 after another)
I asked her to just extrapolate what she has now in savings, investments & EPF until she's 90 - enough for her retirement lifestyle?
Asked her - U going to work till 60-64?
Yup to both Qs- so why beat yourself over it? Spend lar on your priorities - ok ma. Don't spend or cut down spending on lower priorities.
Simple, right?
For me, it's the reverse.
I prioritize growing my assets (spending on investments/assets) and fine food is VERY low on my priorities (one of the lowest, just above new cars

).
I "gamefy" my savings & investing - tracking weekly & monthly, the tweaking plans to optimize/ execute where necessary.
Those stats collected, to me, is like a pathway showing how/where i scored, leveled-up and DIGI-EVOLVE!
Different strokes for different folks - thank gawd, else making a living or pursuing interests is going to be tough as hell
