If your ambition doesn’t grow with your wealth, the wealth makes you stupid by enabling you to delay decisions longer under uncertainty. I’ve done most of my on-time risky trigger pulling when money was tight, delayed it too long when it wasn’t

For the first time in my life I have just a few thousand in savings and I have been considering investing it in some micro loan situation for this very reason. There's a sweet spot of financial wiggle room that enables the acuity you describe; either wise can be dulling.

Can’t be radical on all fronts. Retirement investment infrastructure is one of the few things that’s decent if you know how to use it. Roth/regular IRA, put it all in S&P = basic vote of confidence in the nation.

I’d rather invest in index funds and write about climate change and support ideas like Bill McKibben campaign than invest in a “green” fund most likely designed to sucker idealists with high management fees. Green the economy rather than invest in green segment of it.
