I’m 25. Damn I respect the shit out of money now, I’m poor. I had 6 figures and blew it all on options/crypto. I’m such an idiot. Now I have 3 grand in my trading account and living paycheck to paycheck. This shit sucks, I blew it, I had what I needed, and blew it. It was never enough. Jesus, if you’re reading this and are astronomically up like I was in early 2021, take shit off the table, this isn’t a game.

Could be worse.

I'm 40 and it took me 3 years to save up $25k in my Roth IRA. Lost it all on options in a few months.

I was never up. It was all hard work savings.

But honestly, I still don't have respect for money because I don't spend it. It was just sitting there as numbers on a screen. I don't regret taking a shot to try and better my life.
