That makes total sense, Bozz. I really hope it happens for you. I can tell you're the kind of person who wouldn't fritter it away.
One thing I've discovered from being lucky enough to have a few big wins is being risk-averse and a poverty-mentality is one of the main reasons more people don't score. That was my problem. I grew up really poor and was taught to be thankful just to have enough to pay the bills. We didn't really expect more than that because no one in our family (or really anyone we knew for that matter) had achieved financial independence. My mindset shifted when I began to meet and have conversations with crypto investors. I absorbed not only some of their knowledge but their mindset through osmosis. I see now that the key is more like "you have to think like you're wealthy." than "It takes money to make money."
You can still make a whole lot with very little in crypto if you use a tiered approach. If you don't have a lot to invest initially, small cap coins are the way to get started. Betting on 5 or 10 decent small cap coins are a good way to build wealth quickly. Watch them closely, some will lose but some will win big. Cash in your gains regularly then attack that debt with 50% and reinvest 50% in larger cap projects, especially coins you can stake like Zil or XTZ. Cash out staking rewards regularly and just view this as income. A lot of people hold only staking rewards with the thought that they'll be worth more later but many of them get caught holding the bag when prices drop. I view them as free money. Once you have grown the amount of money you have to invest you can take more of a long-term approach and put everything on cruise control.
I try to view money as energy. If you always think of ways your money can make more money it'll soon be working for you instead of vice versa.
Thanks! Those are some great tips. I have already started to move some money into XTZ, and ALGO. I love that they give me staking rewards. It isn't a ton of money, but I think that it will add up over time. Those are yet another example of a token that I thought was going to be big instant winner, but I am starting to realize now they are more of a long term investment. See what I mean... they just seem to find me! I do now that I need to be a little less conservative when it comes to investing. I am just so afraid of failing. That holds me back a lot of times.

No problem at all! Yeah, I know what you mean. Sometimes you really have to go searching for the up-and-coming small cap gems. Many of them aren't on the radar of the mainstream yet.
I'm a conservative investor at heart too but learned you have to throw off those shackles until you build up enough reserves to be conservative. The financial advice given to the mainstream keeps them poor and in debt. You have a good head on your shoulders, paying off debt should be the #1 priority. This gives you an incredible advantage in life.
