    If you measure your “look how much money I could have made!!” in “groceries” and not “how many years earlier can I retire”, I really think you should invest your money in something with less risk.

    I don’t know your exact situation, and you said you’ve done a lot of reading and practice, but how strong is your willpower? Can you set a budget of money you can afford to lose without affecting your life, and stick to it NO MATTER what? If you are honest with yourself and know you would dip into your savings if you were “sure” you knew you were going to make a profit, then please unsubscribe from anything that brags about trading profits, and find your dopamine hits somewhere else. It is expensive to be poor in this country, and if you make one mistake and lose money you can’t afford to, you might never get out of that hole for the rest of your life.

    But! If you can set a budget and stick to it no matter what, then I wish you the best of luck!!!

    EDIT: I said “in this country” assuming you live in USA. Maybe you live somewhere else, but I’ll bet it’s expensive being poor in a lot of countries.











  • If you’re like me, when you were in high school, wasn’t it really important what grade someone was in? Like you’re a junior, you’re not going to hang out with some FRESHMAN, right?

    But then, when you got to college, there was this sudden shift, and now it doesn’t really matter what year someone is in? I remember that feeling, like “oh, we’re all just college students, who cares if I started a year before someone else.”

    If you can relate to that experience, feeling that shift of “oh, turns out that didn’t really matter” then I promise you have another one coming soon, when you get out of college and get a job and go “oh, who cares when someone graduated college, even if they started at the same time. We’re all just doing our thing now.”
