I'm at 150k and all I do at work is dream of new ways to kill myself

Another weekend vaporized in an instant. Now back to the wage cage. When can I get off this ride?

Go on without me bros I'm afraid I'm not going to make it, financially speaking

Most of you will think this is a pathetically low amount of money to care about but for me, this was everything. I'm demoralized. But I guess all of this was necessary to learn valuable lessons.

I've blown my portfolio up from 250k to 115k. In a hyperinflationary environment. Investing in this stock is simply the worst decision I've ever made. It's over.

Oh I should also mention 40% of my income is taxed

The IRS wants even more money this year. I hate them so much.

I'm perpetually tired, and it's all crypto's fault

Eggs are $7 a dozen now anon

I can't even afford a fake house in the metaverse now, let alone a real one. Why live?

>can't get out of Costco for less than $300 now
Who the fuck is responsible for this? Give me their name right fucking now.

Less than 1 hour back in the wagecage for 2023 and already want to kill myself again...

Houses will never drop in value. I am priced out forever.

>interest rates above 6%
>price of houses still continue to increase YOY in my area
It's fucking over. Why continue living?

>day 1 was a year and a half ago

>another family holiday gathering where I repeatedly get told that my young nieces and nephews are already more financially successful than me

I can't even afford eggs now

I've lost so much fucking money it's unreal

Although I hated it and I felt like the living dead. At least it paid me something as I wasted my life away as a docile cow. Once I quit my job and went full crypto life was a dream as long as I had some money. I could work on my art and live off savings, it was beautiful for a long time but it was again just a dream, now it's ending. I'm about to be out of money. Altcoins showed me the Moon and then sent me cratering back to Earth. Now I need money, I need a job, and nobody will even respond to my resume anymore because I dared to live free.

It's so lonely here bros.

We just had to put one of the Airbnb's up for sale. Bookings are down 60% in a ski resort town. It's fucking over.
