like I said before, I have a superb hedge called investment RE. If I didn't have RE for appreciation and income, I'd be one scared puppy. I think betting is the right term, except with investments you're making educated 'bets.' Issue for me is I know RE a heckuva lot better than equities.

Right now, I'm keeping expenses low, expanding my education, and taking things easy, because I believe all asset prices are elevated. Long RE, long cash, and neutral stock market lets me sleep at night and will never put me in the poor house. That's because my expenses are low and an growing skillset/education means I'll never be looking for a job. I know that isn't ideal for other folks.
