This is based on your current "safe" mindset

No it's based on me knowing myself very well through critical analysis of myself. I am an all chips in guy. I have been up and down but through it all, I have always been consistent on my principals, when I was starting out I walked out of a really bad position with nary a weeks pay in the bank. I barely landed something new and made the rent in time. Never the less, I stuck to my principals. I made it really big on an exit, bet it all on investments and start-ups, lost it all, went another round after working some jobs, had two good exits and started playing it safer by switching to consulting, irregardless of all of that my core values and principals never wavered. So I am pretty sure, if my financial situation was different, I would still feel the same.

You'd be surprised how one's self can change under unsafe circumstances, despite all the "critical analysis" he had done...
