Your life is not over my friend. I've lost similar amounts. Just work hard and next time just place it into $VOO or something and dont think about it.

No more trading for you. This will suck ass, but you can still claw your way out: Work, invest 75% in $VOO & 25% in $VPU, set both to DRIP & don't look at it or jack with it (hopefully your name isn't Jack). Learn Lean methodologies & live Lean. Come back to r/WSB & post a screenshot when your account hits $100k. Long & tedious, but do-able.

market's down 10%? VOO is down <4%

I looked back on how much money I threw away and compared it to what I'd have if I just sat in VOO. Disabled options, sold all my individual stocks, went 100 pct index funds. Now I have money. Also write off the money lost as consumed/spent. Pretend you're starting from zero and don't worry about "making it back". Happy to be jealous of people hitting it big on gambles though (and the retards losing it all more often than not.)

At least it wasn't much to begin with relatively speaking. Stop being retarded, get off this sub, start grinding out some real cash and put it somewhere boring like VOO or VT till you get your shit together. Don't try to gamble your way back.

I was so close to liquidating my voo position. But, had to take the daughter to school

Look I know It seems hopeless now but I’ve lost way more and bounced back no job nothing. Yes you should not bet what you can’t afford but this is simply a lesson in greed. Get off your butt time to work 80 hour weeks and get it back sticking all extra into voo strictly equity long term and close your account. 2 years of 80 hour weeks and walking away from your account you’ll be over 100k again. Time to make it Back.

Bro. Quit blaming others. If you just bought VOO, your $100k would be at least $150k depending on when you bought. You tried to gamble. You wanted it the easy way. And now you're paying the price. Pick yourself up, earn it back, and stop gambling. The market giveth

---

Stop trading options then dumbass, just buy VOO and do literally anything else with your time. Just goon bro or go fishing, lift heavy shit or literally just become an alcoholic. All of those would save your money and stress

---

That sucks but life goes on. Work and make that money back and stop touching options. Just VOO and chill. $100k isn't a small amount but you'll make that back eventually.
