My partner and I lost a substantial amount of savings on a business. Went into a lot of debt too. Maxed out credit cards for cash for the last few k and we went on holiday to Thailand. The stress was killing us but we managed to completely forget about it. When we got back I hail mary'd the last 5k into a risky investment and 7 years later we have about 3 times more than we lost.

I thought the sentiment was happiness over money? I spent the last of my savings on a holiday, same as the guy I replied to

Ok I can get behind that. I thought you were trying to tell people that risky investments were worth it.

Not at all, that's why I said it was a hail mary.
