increase your savings to reduce worries about your future. Or
perhaps there are other spend/earn options you want to test, such
as saving much more when young and investing in high-risk, high-return
shares to try and kick yourself into a higher wealth bracket at
age 50. Or maybe you want to downsize or upsize your house. Or.....

how much more complicated the decision becomes with three classes
to chose from instead of two. Imagine if we'd allowed you to start
with all nine!).
To do this, you need to........
