I am relatively new to trading but I will pass on what i consider to be my own number one rule! Never invest what you can't afford to lose! There are other priorities to pay attention to. Yes, make the money work for you but do it in a safe manner! I personally prioritise my family's happiness so if the money is better off put to use there, that is where it will be! Invest within your means and don't overstretch! Take care of yourself and those under your care. Happy father's day to the fathers and fathers-to-be out there!
