Having little to invest makes you less willing to take a loss. I don't know if I'd do the huge house and pay cash, a much as make some simple investments and structure things so I was regularly getting payed from my working money, whicle reinvesting to keep it going.
I invest like I gamble. I might not win big, but I don't lose my shirt.
