Did you know that risk when it comes to investing is anything happening other than what is expected? (So, any kind of surprise, good or bad!)

Most people are loss averse, not risk averse. The amount of loss aversion you have should influence how you invest, how much insurance you own, and how much you have in your emergency fund. Knowing more about ourselves and how we instinctively react will help us make better financial decisions in the future.
