I seriously dont get it. How come everything I buy immediately goes red and everything I dont buy or sell immediately goes green? Whats going on here? Am I the world's unluckiest man? Im 32 years old already and I only have 2.1k to my name. Im thinking of just ending myself already honestly. Divine intervention it seems is ensuring my destruction. Dont even have the money to buy beer or meat anymore without risking rent.

Weekly is a little better while still remaining glacial pace you can make moves at leisure. Monthly trend takes forever to shift and by the time it does the move may be over already. At that point you will perform better with just dca strategy.

I just turned 44. Been here since 2007. We're here forever. Who cares.

Its not fair bros. Years ago I was poor and even with 100% pumps I make fucking nothing. Now that I have 5 figures, I can easily make a few thousand. When I have 6 figures, 5 figure gains in a week are not unlikely. But what is the point? Im getting older with every cycle. Whats the point of making it when Im old as fuck?

Does life improve over time?

Not the first one to observe this obviously, but it's always retards and the super smart who end up making it. Meanwhile, midwits keep overanalyzing and trying to get around market oversaturation, only to keep shooting themselves in the foot and staying either poor or in the middle class wagie cycle hell forever.

Why is this?

Let me guess, you fell for the CS degree meme like I did?

Here's some nuclear blackpills for those on biz thinking about or are pursuing a CS degree:
> Those you hear about making $300k+ a year on here are either larping or they have an unbridled 24/7 passion over coding aka it's the only thing they defines their life. They're CONSTANTLY relearning new languages, new frameworks and they already have seniority in their job positions.
> Programming is NOT a skill unless again, it's your unbridled passion aka you just breath code wherever you go. Coding is ever changing. When it all boils down to it, it's not really a skill at all since you constantly have to relearn shit to keep up with the times.
> Tech in general is always a shitshow during recessions. Hardly any work available except for the senior position privileged fuckers. Are you thinking about sneaking out of coding and into something like networking or cybersecurity? You can forget it. Especially during nasty recessions like what we're going through now, the only way you're breaking into those fields is if you have 5-10 years RELEVANT experience plus super special connections.
> WFH meme is slowly but surely dying out. Again, it's only for the privileged these days.

My sad fate was that I pursued a CS degree originally because I wanted to be a game designer, only to find out that requires super saiyan mega master level of coding skills, which I knew I could never achieve since code was already pissing me off in college. I instead had the mentality of "oh if I don't like coding, then that's ok I can always use my CS degree to go into something alternative, it's an in-demand degree after all!" That was circa 2011-2015 when I was college. Whoo boy, if only I knew the absolute shitshow that tech is nowadays. I only wish I had the gift of foresight to see the future apocalypse that's my dead in the ground career now. :(

None of those meme tiktok ideas are going to work for you anon (at least not anymore - this isn't 2015 where dropshipping and the like actually worked to making millions).

Crypto isn't going to bail you out either unless you already have a shitload of money to put in. Sorry, but shitcoins these days are 99.9% rugs instead of just 80% rugs, especially since we're in a prolonged bear market.

Besides that, it sounds like you fell into the same trap I did. My story:

> Got a CS degree
> got muh job after 7 months of searching after graduation
> Not great starting salary ($55k back in 2016) but at least it wasn't minimum wage
> Get put under a shitty manager
> Only manage to get 1.5% to 3% salary increases every year because it was against company policy to give an employee anything past 5% without the executives getting involved (this thing is fairly common in shit industries like insurance)
> After 5 years of falling for the company loyalty meme, I finally burned out of my job and quit
> Haven't been employed since due to current shitty job market

The path I'm taking now is learning sales & marketing, and I'm considering going for an MBA online I can get in under 1-2 years so I can open up opportunities.

As for you anon, I'd suggest learning a trade or a skill that can get you a WFH job. But beware though, WFH jobs are nearly impossible to get these days.

Just learn a skill, go through a couple years of painfully low salary to learn said skill, then leverage into starting your own business with side skills of sales + marketing to stand out against the hyper competition you're up against these days, thanks to YouTube and Tiktok.

Aw, I loved this song in high school.

I don't need to write a long paragraph to describe what's happening in tech:

> WFH getting eviscerated
> The tech job market (all IT in general, including coding, tech sales, etc.) is absolutely atrocious
> If you don't spend years of your life keeping your "skills" up to date every few years, then you have zero chance of career advancement nor job/salary gouging
> Painfully inept, incompetent, just out of touch management no matter which team you end up on, if you miraculously get hired
> So much more

How many of you regret your CS degree like I am atm? I'm starting to think that I should've gotten an accounting degree instead - at least that's a skill you can keep with you, even if you get fired.
