And that is huge.
It's like the best investment is the one you can sleep at night with.
The second one is risk capacity, which just means, do you potentially need this money?
Do you have an emergency fund?
Do you have money put away for your rent?
Or if you were to lose your job, that comes back to the emergency fund.
But if you need the money, you really can't afford to lose it or invest it.
The third principle is time horizon.
So time horizon is paramount because nobody's a crystal ball.
We don't know what the market is going to do.
But we do know, based on historical data, that the longer that you invest for, the higher probability
That firstly, that you won't lose money, but then secondly, that you will gain money.
And the time horizon is a really important point because there's recency bias.
It looks like if you go back, particularly in the last, you know, really since like 2011, really in the grand scheme of things, markets have just been going up.
But that's not always the way.
Like if you go back in history to look at, say, the global financial crisis at the peak, say, 2008, if you put in, you know, 100 euro, it would have taken you at least between 5.5 and 6 years to get your 100 euro back.
The point is, that's a five and a half to six year period whereby you'd have lost money, right?
But then if you held, think about the time.
So if you held from that point forward, like what would it be now?
I don't know the math in front of me, but it'd be significant.
