    not at all.

    The ability to be spontaneous is directly proportional to your willingness to accept risk.

    knowledge mitigates much of that risk.

        I was stating a general rule, like the shower thought was attempting.

        If you understand risk and its circumstances, you can mitigate that risk regardless of your situation.

        If I follow, you’re theorizing the unpracticed ability of a small minority of privileged people?

        independently wealthy people can be more spontaneous, but are generally more conservative, they’re as afraid as everybody else of spending their money.

      Went on a spontaneous trip very recently.

      Spent a little more money than I’m comfy with.

      Truck sprung some issues.

      Saw some things I would never have seen otherwise. Some beautiful things, creatures, happenings, and places.

      I’ll fix the damn truck. Make the money back (or so)

      Is it risk, or are you just being a pussy? Yeah, the human world sucks, but you don’t need all the garbage they sell you, and there’s worthwhile experiences you won’t get with your nose stuck down to the grindstone.

      I bet you risk your life, limbs, and liberty every single day driving into work.

      I’ve had multiple friends die driving. They never thought THAT was a risk.

      Go somewhere you don’t plan to. It aint gonna last forever

        “Is it risk, or are you just being a pussy”

        Risk(especially perceived risk) does stop many people, and many people don’t truly understand risk.

        “I bet you risk your life, limbs, and liberty every single day driving into work.”

        no. I don’t commute to car by work.

        “They never thought THAT was a risk.”

        many people don’t truly understand risk.

        "Go somewhere you don’t plan to. It aint gonna last forever "

        I’ve been traveling spontaneously for the past decade and agree.

        especially with this part:

        “It aint gonna last forever”
