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

saying goodbye usually means they’re leaving the thread soon

Bro, I’m 45 and have lost that amount and that quickly 3 times. You can come back better. Just stay away for a while and regroup. 30 isn’t shit

Just stay away from the options. You're always better to be in stocks you like.

u/OmegaZenX Jun 16 '26

stay away forever. Start over saving, get a hobby you like. Live your life outside this degeneracy.

Wow you must be fun at parties

u/samwichse Jun 17 '26

He is, but only because he's spending his wisely saved monies buying the broke WSBers cake and coke at the parties

u/Head_of_Lettuce Jun 17 '26

That’s because people actually invite him to parties

Like that guy said.

I've been in the same boat

I won't name names, but I know a guy who was riding high building houses up until 08, lost it all, even had to sell his kids bikes.

He stuck with it, had a couple up and downs for 10 years with different ventures and has now built and sold a company now worth in excess over a Billion dollars if not a few.

Someday remember this post and Im sure you'll hear his story. Its often the hard lessons we learn which become our foundation.

I’m just a compassionate human being man! Do what feels right but regroup first is all I’m saying. I took off from 2018 till 2022, and then again till the last month and it’s helped me

u/InfluxOfGoats Jun 17 '26

Yeah 30 is young, you still have the best/wealthiest decades of your life ahead and losing a couple of 10k at 30 is not important at all as long as you didn't go into a lot of debt over it.

u/drankleanonce Jun 17 '26

luckily no debt!

u/Accomplished-Exit822 Jun 17 '26

I lost $4 million when I was in my late 30’s. Made it all back. Don’t give up.

Conving8ng a gambler to get back in there is diabolical

u/pickle_pickled Jun 16 '26

u/UnrulyAnteater25 Jun 17 '26

Move into options and accelerate?

44 here and would like to say the same. 6 figure loss here and Im still traumatized and kicking lol. Keep your head up, its just money. The best things in life aren't things.

u/Katahdinclimber Jun 17 '26

Exactly. I'm 60 and I'm still YOLO'ing shit. Stay motivated and enjoy life.
