RE: The inequality of risk aversion for investment

in LeoFinance3 years ago

It's funny, I've had the same conversations with my wife. Women are definitely more risk-averse than men. And that makes sense in an evolutionary context.

But it's good to have some brakes put on from time to time. It saves us (somewhat) from taking stupid risks. The challenge is finding the balance.

Yeah for sure. I also think it is good to have some accelerator too. We can go the other way and get stuck in habit and fears that hold us back. I guess in a relationship, it is good to have a little of both in each person to help each other overcome and be stronger individuals and a couple.
