That's all well and good. But the point is, your downside risk is still limited, compared to someone who will be on the streets if they fail.

I always knew I could move back home if my work failed. This really helped me take risks in the early stages. I was pretty sure they'd pay off, but I knew I would have the opportunity to recover if things went sour.
