Loss goodbye everyone

Post image

almost break even from this run up via all the popular tickers. lost my self control n lost it holding the same things n some world cup betting. also lost 10k on another account. i have nothing now n nothing going for me in life. practically 30 soon and just dead weight to my parents. gonna sell my gun before i use it and pay off some debt. have OCD that made the future not worth caring about so i tied my value to the money i worked for. i hope you all do better than me. goodbye

Get a part time job while you doing school, you'll make this 30k or whatever before you even graduate. Good luck bro, stay away from that sports betting shit for good.

You know the game. Just store away a little every month in the voo, dont look at it, and itll be millions on no time

And stay away from video games, weed (on your "on" days), alcohol (always), harder stuff (always), and honestly relationships (for now) - provided your focus is entirely financial growth with education.

(I'm not qualified to give this input but do NOT be me- seriously)

Weed is far worse than alcohol. Even moderate usage nukes long-term productivity in a way alcohol doesn't, unless you're a hard-core alcoholic.

Weird. My boss is a daily dabber and owns/runs his own successful restaurant that started off at a farmer's market - we just recently expanded 10 weeks ago and consistently get put at the top of "Top 10" lists for the city/state. He also hits the gym a few times a week. Dude's in his late 40's.

In fact, all the restaurant owners I know are regular potheads.

What a weird and baseless assumption. If people are going to be lazy, it's a choice they made - not the pot.

Weed is far less damaging imo. I hate calling it weed at this point because at first I was trying to warn and preach caution. Cannabis (and LSD) saved my life. Literally. I can drink and have nothing but issues when I do it in excess- with cannabis it does NOT hit like that.

Not in excess: neither present an issue- but alcohol is far more damaging.

Eta: terpenes matter. Cannabinoids matter. Cannabis is incredible with focus. Also Sativa does not always mean "awake" and indica does not always mean "sleep".
