Encouraged By Others To Take Risks
The Finance Buff gives some down to earth information about bias in "should I retire advice" from sources with no stake in your success or risk from your failure. He also mentions the even more glaring bias from salespersons. who may include those selling advice or information.
I know more than one younger person who made appealing but IMO financially and career damaging moves. Invariably they were given happy going away parties and oh this will be so great sendoffs. If as a friend you go against the flow here, you will likely lose the friend. In fact, if he goes and crashes, he won't say, oh I wish I had listened to so and so. He is much more likely to think that those nay-sayers damaged his chances by poisoning his confidence.
The advice giver has nothing to lose by saying, yeah, go for it gal!
