The reason it seems like gambling is it is, in many ways. Just bear in mind that you'll still need money when you no longer feel like working so divert some of that "larger chunk of paycheck" into a tax-protected retirement fund.

yeah. I have a very small amount of money that I manage for stocks - I wanted to invest in video game companies and it worked out rather well. Otherwise I put my 10% in a 401k and the rest to the house. My wife, on the other hand, is a fastidious saver and could probably buy a house outright with what she has saved.
