When A Boyfriend Mistreats Your Cat
I’m Single in NYC.....
What’s the rule on using lingerie from an ex for your new beau?
My friend is getting married and I’m not invited
My husband just won’t go down on me!
Can “Friends With Benefits” Ever Work?
My fiance hit me on the arm. Will it happen again?
I can’t stand my husband’s politics.
I think I married the wrong person
My boyfriend is pressuring me to give up being a vegetarian
Married or single, I think it’s very important to take some bold financial risks. There’s a limit to the benefits of playing financial defense. “Saving” can only take you so far. On top of that, all sorts of unexpected costs can suddenly pop up (illness, elderly parents, etc.)
So, trying to “supercharge” your income may be the best way. As a small business owner, I do a lot of that through trying to sell much more overseas (particularly Asia). Although I’m sort of socially shy, in the office I have an extreme all-or-nothing “gambler’s” mentality.
The same strategy could possibly be applied to anyone. If you have a salaried job, maybe do something on the side (ex: consulting) that earns money and then turn around and invest (stocks, real estate, whatever) with that extra money. Don’t drop it in a savings account. Go on offense any way you can.

“all sorts of unexpected costs can suddenly pop up (illness, elderly parents, etc.)” That’s what insurance is for.
“I have an extreme all-or-nothing ‘gambler’s’ mentality.” Sorry, but that’s a good way to end up with nothing. I only take “bold” risks with money I don’t need, and even than mainly for entertainment–not as an investment. Playing the lottery is not a retirement strategy.
