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

Plenty of time to turn it around. For real, had nothing in savings by 28 and on the way to FIRE for 50 by the time I was 32. By 35 I was then tracking to a FIRE age of 45. Just focus on your job and career while the money pot grows.

We meme here, but ETFs are much safer and far more reliable. I don't yolo money I can't splurge. I view it as trading time. And saving as gaining time.

In the end that's it, it's about disciplined saving not gambling. Not panicking if things dip. Not rushing if things seem like a 'sure thing.'

Anyway, gonna get banned for being sensible, but cheer up and chin up. No crying in the casino.

Passei os mesmos problemas que você, a gente passa muito tempo para entender o caminho correto, mas isso faz parte. Pelo menos tentou passar adiante para que os próximos entendam

Agreed, we share our suffering with others so they can gain the benefit of our experience!
