In retrospect, I should've been more aggressive and risk taking with life decisions in my early teens and early twenties. Now with two small kids and a mortgage, I no longer have the flexibility to take massive risks.

All the risky moves that I made so far in life ended up being ok. Stressful, terrifying, but I always came out ok somehow.

Couple of examples:

- Moved to a lesser developed country at 19 to be with a girl.

- Bought two homes at the same time, was broke for a while.

- Moved back to my home country & bought a house in a crazy market.

- Joined a startup as the third employee.
