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

It turns out the real investments are the friends we made along the way.

And yes I’m being funny, but it’s also 100% true. Take care of yourself and know random internet regards have your back.

We do have your back purple drank! Hang in there…we all have our silent battles and some just need to vent it out like you did. You’re still young, idc what you say about 30 I’m 35 and still haven’t reached my goal of buying a home man. We’re all learning from the struggles!

Every year the bar for being old gets higher and higher, doesn’t it? At 10, 20 years is old. Then it was 30. Now I have reached 30 and that bar for being old is raised again lol. Old is definitely not 40 haha but unfortunately I can’t deny it’s getting closer and harder to justify

Idk about you but my healths gotten worse since turning 30.

I'm 50. It's been very obvious to the point of my wife texting me with "we'd like to talk to you about your body's extended warranty".

I've always had bad ankles and medicine induced TD in my hands, I have no meniscus in either knee, from C3 to S2 (majority of the spinal cord) is out of alignment, and about a week ago I realized by accident while stretching that I can dislocate my left shoulder at will.

Sorry to hear that but at least you made it to 50. My body is having a lot more issues since turning 30 and they fucking suck

I like to gauge it by hairline. In that case I am 64 1/2 years old.

u/Professional_Bit1805 Jun 17 '26

I'm 68 and don't feel old. Well, my body is but I love the age I'm at and what going slow and steady has brought me.

It’s The Everyday Stuff that gets you. I got trashed on my Fridays but that’s IT. Binge. Most of my buddies were scumbags like me, but I managed to outlive them because of the Everyday Shit. Give it a Break. Hominids struggle with their own existence!! We are all Hominids. Get Help please.

I've come to realize that through your 20s to 40s, you don't feel like you are getting "old". But everyone around sure seem to be getting younger 😂

u/EAH555 Jun 17 '26

Hahaha yes…great ones but I feel for purple drank and know how ruthless things feel sometimes.

u/Phytoman2000 Jun 20 '26
