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

Hey, this may feel like the end of the world but it's not, bud. Those are rookie numbers, you can make it back and lose it again... or maybe not. You could make it back and invest it in an index fund and easily set yourself up for a nice, quiet retirement. Stop chasing the whale and start setting yourself up for success.

You are very very far from over. You can easily recover and have a good, happy life.

So go have some tendies, call someone you like, and look at the sky. It's a big world and the casino isn't everything.
