How much longer do you have to invest?

So those things you can kind of quantify.

But the hardest one is your willingness to take risk.

That's kind of like the squishy one, the qualitative factor.

Yeah, because you could have the ability to take a lot of risk.

You have a $10 million portfolio.

You have the ability to take a lot of risk because you have big financial assets.

But you might say, I don't want to, though.

I already won the game.

I'm going to be a conservative investor.

Other people say, no, yeah, I'm going to keep putting my foot on the gas pedal, and I'm going to grow this $10 million even bigger.

That's the hard part is like knowing yourself.

And that's why the risk profile is so important because there isn't really a right or wrong answer for everyone.

It depends.

Yeah, it's funny.

When I first joined the industry, I realized that, man, I'm so far behind on experience.

I have to study history to understand how markets have worked in the past because I wasn't there to experience it.

And so that's why I thought history was always so interesting to me.

And the thing that I want to show people is not that you can use history to predict the future.

But it opens up your mind to a range of outcomes, things that can happen.
