'Toil and risk are the price of glory".

(Alexander the Great)

Are you a risk-taker?

Are you conservative?

Do you wish you were  different than you are in this regard?

I have read where people worked an ordinary job for 35 years, and saved---always saved and was frugal ---and would up having a million dollars at the time of retirement. 

When I look around and see how we, and our kids, and our grand-kids spend our money, I  have a sick feeling.

We eat out too much.  We buy presents and clothes that we could all do without.  We entertain ourselves, and make gluttony, and think it is the way to live.

Is it?

You can make it two ways:  either toil   or take risks.

Which do you prefer?

I work; and find time to do things I chose. I like working at 'work' and at 'working' at home.
I don't consider myself a risk taker, but having said that, I can drive too fast sometimes. Is that taking a risk?

You're assessment are basically correct! But, we don't have to hunt down our food daily, spend the day washing clothes in the creek... I consider the things we have, as a society, a blessing, not a curse.
I see our major problem as moving away from Godly values, not having too many things and too much times to 'waste'.

Very interesting topic! :]

I am still cogitating about this info. I rather doubt if anything I say will change a heart or a life, but one never knows.
