Evaluating an Extreme Investment Strategy

An individual's investment opportunities can be shown on a graph with 'Current Consumption' on the horizontal axis and 'Future Consumption' on the vertical axis. The point where the feasible set of consumption choices intersects the vertical axis represents a strategy of forgoing all current consumption to invest the maximum possible amount for the largest possible future payoff. Critically evaluate the desirability and realism of an individual actually choosing this specific consumption point. In your response, incorporate principles related to consumer preferences and behavior over time.
