I've built up a considerable fund which I plan to invest. It was going to be bricks and mortar but there are plenty of angel investors willing to fund start ups such as this. Bring a decent business plan to them and they'll help you to help them.

Of course they do.

Risk is always directly proportionate to reward.

For example, Investing in the stock market is riskier than investing in property. Investing in property is riskier than investing in gold. Investing in gold is riskier than investing in bonds. Investing in bonds is riskier than fixed deposits.

Those that have come from nothing and made a fortune have taken considerable risks.

Sarah needs to take that risk, or take the easy option and work for someone else. There's no risk in that but there's also very little reward.

I could go on, but I won't.

Unfortunately, that is how success is measured.

I agree. Being able to give because you have done well is a fantastic feeling, letting others benefit from your success.

Me too. They've taken the risk, some win, some lose.

I think we're going slightly off topic here, how many concentration camp survivors do we have on Wiki?

These people are either lazy or took the risk vs reward route and failed. But the risk vs. reward people will pick themselves up and give it another crack. The lazy, well, they'll sign on andy give up.

LIFE... is what you make of it.

Call it what you like.

I've invested money in a fair few start up businesses. Luckily more have succeeded than failed.

That's the risk though isn't it. I could have taken a 9-5 and settled down. I'd still be making above average money, but it wouldn't satisfy me. Different strokes/different folks.

phew, grin

Good that some people are fortunate enough to not to have to take a risk.
I know people who have access to "bank of mum and dad" and they know they can always fall back on mummy and daddy.
I'm going to make sure my kids understand that money has to be earned.

Yeah, some people are fortunate enough. I know a couple.

Poor kids... when I have kids, that I bring into the world, they will have the benefit of a successful father and I will give them everything I possibly can, whilst ensuring they understand the value of money.

I appreciate that sometimes a father can't offer all they would have wanted to their children.
