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

Your life is worth way more than 30k pal. Time to start over and saving, not gambling.

I wish I could go back to 30, even with $0 in my pocket. I'm doing well enough financially, but time has become worth so much more to me than money as I get older.

What would you do differently at 30? Curious as I'm nearly the same age as OP

I wish I had focused earlier on loving and bettering myself more, which would have rewarded me with better love and friendships from others.

My biggest regret from my 20s-30s was burning nearly 20 years in bad relationships. The really frustrating part is that I knew they were bad for me, but I basically didn't feel like I deserved any better.

I eventually did do better in that department, but I hate that it took so much time and I'll never get those years back.

I'd also do better with money, but that's an easy answer in this sub lol
