I’m completely not a fan of these “only invest what you can afford to lose” types. For me that’s a signs for gamblers.
but you have to be able to understand and accept what the outcome will be for you if it goes south… against what it will do for you if it goes north. If you can handle the former and the risk of that (whatever % you assign to it potentially happening) against the opportunity it brings… then I think that’s good investing. People will tell you “you are mad to put more than xx into speccy” etc. these types have no idea. They are projecting their situation and beliefs into others. One should put in what they deem appropriate and proportional to their situation. Whatever that means.
