 If You Take Pleasure in Others Misfortune...
Hey all,
I used to have a job that made a lot of money (to me at least), about $130k per year. I saved up for 4 years but now unfortunately have nothing to show for it. I invested about $50k into a single stock one day prior to an earnings announcement; the earnings were terrible and the stock plummeted ~33%, so I lost $15k in that one day.
Next, I tried to build a crypto mining rig right at the peak prices (BTC $18k) and that failed miserably, so there went another $30k.
The remainder I lost due to a gambling addiction, probably about $80k in brick-and-mortar casinos and $40k online.
In conclusion, I have now learned my lesson and understand the value of a dollar. You work hard for your money, so don't give it away kids! Make conservative, informed choices and do your homework before any type of investing!
Just my 2 cents. Have a good one guys!  |
