You felt like a failure because you have a gambling problem. Notice I didn’t use past tense. You’re currently in a better position than the vast majority of people your age. You don’t need to take risks with any of this money, so don’t. Put it somewhere safe like SPY or VOO and let it grow while continuing to add to it. Consider locking some of it by putting it in an IRA. You sound like you’re gonna wind up doing it all again once the trauma settles and you feel secure again.

Same, I use to think I’d have Spotify forever. Got YouTube premium and cancelled Spotify the next day. Have not thought about Spotify once since

"Dude, where is the beer you were supposed to make??? You promised to reach our quota if we invested in your agriculture! Whats is this watery thing? Where are the bread chunks? And is full of plastic!" Investing on apes, not even once.

MU is still the exclusive (or at the least the key) supplier of LPDDR5X for Vera. It’ll also likely be re-added as a Rubin supplier once they improve speeds post Rubin launch.

You treated this like gambling instead of actually learning how to TRADE. The fact you have an allowance and even the $1K is a lot better than some people. Quit playing the victim and grow up. Maybe lose the allowance and get a job so you can learn instead of being handed everything. Let’s use that big thing in our head called a brain and figure it out, instead of looking for remorse from random Reddit OPs. Maybe, I don’t know, financially literacy courses, or gee maybe a lesson on trading and chart markups….People like you are why I only go on this over opinionated, braindead app once a week. At least you know you deserved it. Final remarks: I’ll look at responses next week if this post doesn’t get too much ‘snowflake hate’ prior. But, as someone who’s experienced the volatility of the market, had businesses go under, filed bankruptcy, made, spent, lost millions, all before the age of 25. Sitting here at 26 I can proudly say, focusing on your inward and not your outward does numbers. Quit looking for outside answers and look at the mirror. To the OP of this post, I hope you figure out your gambling issues and piss poor mindset and turn them into generational wealth. Take some time to learn and search inward. If you choose to remain in that victim mindset I show zero remorse. God Bless

Lower risk blue chip stocks or PM get hit, but nowhere near as bad as high risk growth companies. If they’re trading at insane valuations right now, it’s probably much better to rotate into dividend paying blue chip stocks and rotate out once the growth stocks come crashing down. Unless of course you think they can grow forever.

MTG previously was a product with a huge moat - it was self-moating. It had been continually worldbuilding since it's inception. Now that it's just a vehicle to sell shit based on other IP, there's literally nothing special about it. Hasbro destroyed the moat on their own property. We've seen Palworld basically ripping off Pokemon and mostly getting away with it, Hasbro has made MTG vulnerable to some other company creating an alternative TCG that steals the rich rule system of MTG but fixes all the 'problems' it has. It could be a new TCG based on an established fantasy or sci-fi IP, or it could be an entirely newly written lore, in either case Hasbro will be absolutely fucked if/when this happens. Once MTG has a serious competitor, resale value will plummet and people will cease buying new sealed product to speculate on valuable pulls.

Had to go crazy for a while and didn’t think I’d survive the loss. I ended up moving into my aunts basement where my cousin who passed used to live. I did therapy and attended meetings and watched anything I could about gambling recovery. I worked overtime in an airport in a new state and didn’t hang out with anyone or spend much money. I was able to save 25k in a year. I still have a long way to fully financially recover, but I’m self excluded from all physical casinos in the area, and excluded on stake and draft kings. It was embarrassing to move in with my aunt right before turning 29 but it was the only way I could save back up quickly. I’m 30 now and will never gamble again. Made my money before by working OT at the Tesla factory in Nevada and living with my mom and having no life outside of work. Hard to cope sometimes with the thought I spent my entire 20s working just to gamble it away. Haven’t celebrated a birthday in a very long time, haven’t been on a date since I was 21. Work took all my time and I gambled those years away. Only had 1 day off from work a week and I’d spend it either laying down, playing wow, or gambling, but the gambling escalated and became horrendous once I started doing it online on stake
