Being a young adult.

Young adults typically have a longer time horizon and fewer financial dependents/obligations, so they can better absorb setbacks and recover from losses — making them more willing to take risks. Chronic illness, aging parents, or owning a house usually increase precautionary needs or fixed obligations and tend to reduce willingness to take financial risks.
