The saying "in for a penny, in for a pound" originates from 16th-century England, where it referred to the idea that once someone has invested a small amount of money (a penny), they should be willing to invest a larger amount (a pound) as well, particularly in situations where they are already committed. The phrase reflects a mindset about fully committing to an endeavor, regardless of the initial investment. It underscores the notion of not holding back once one has begun a venture.
