I shot my shot with BAT, I think I'm just going to have to accept my failure at this point. It's been a confluence of small financial tragedies the moment I invested:

First I got t-boned by a boomer which totaled my car like a month after I took what was then just a measly $10,000 loan to buy into BAT with. I couldn't find a used car for shit (they were all like $8,000+ for 100,000+ miles) so I ended up buying new; after the insurance payout that was another $12,000 to my debt. I then lost a 10 hour shift at work which has been both good and bad I guess-working 33 hours across only 3 days a week feels like being a NEET.

Fortunately (?) I'd already moved out of an apartment I was living in with some friends and had been crashing on my parents' couch for six months prior to this debacle; I've been making double payments on my loans which are now down to about $13,000 from $22,000 or so YTD.

You're absolutely right-but now with communists trying to destroy the country out in the open too I'm reverting back into Ron Paul-era prepper mode investing as well. I just wanted to grill for heaven's sake!
