nah

if you associate money with emotions, you'll NEVER make it

once as a poor student when I had to pay my dentist $2500 to make it stop

>>15985160
yes
my wife just had her baby and I decided to stay and help her out. My family strongly pressured me against it.
I covered the cost of diapers and formula for her for the first year and it was very expensive. I rode the bus to save money on gas.

>>15985160
No, i have become completely numb to these sorts of things after having spent 2 years on this board. I also have a fair stack so that might also have something to do with it.

Yeah, once when I was in middle school and lost an envelope with $40 of birthday money. Turns out my mom found it and I got it back the next day.

But as an adult? Fuck no

lost a quarter million in crypto. didn't feel half as bad as my girlfriend breaking up with me a year prior.

>>15985160
I had to put down my two dogs over the span of a week. Was really hard. When i found out how much it cost to try to keep the first dog alive before killing him it hurt. When the second dog starting getting sick n I realized I wouldn't be able to try to save the second, I cried. If I had an extra 1-2k he might still be here. He was old tho wouldn't have lasted another year.

Elaborate. Is this someone else's baby or is your family anti-family?

>>15985212
>my wifes son
i dont think it was money you were crying over

>>15985160
No.

>>15985240
Have a heartfelt F, my friend.

>>15985240
You did the right thing. Let a sick dog pass away if he's old. That extra year would have been suffering pain for him

Long story short:
A guy wearing plaid shirt came up to my wife and I in McDonalds. He asked if I wanted some crypto-coins (I only knew of a bitcoin at the time). I said sure, and he said he would give me some coins if he could impregnate my wife. I went for it obviously. Still raising the kid, who turned out to be a genius anyway, and my investment is really paying off.

Unironically yes.
When I was 18 years old I had accumulated $10k from “investing”(gambling) in the span of 2-3 months. This was a lot for an 18 year old working at an ice cream shop.
One night, in less then two hours, I got liquidated on a short position with a heavy leverage and lost every single dollar. I cried. I felt hopeless and idiotic. But I learned from it.

Looking back, I’m glad I was able to have those mistakes at a young age and learn from them. Now, I don’t value money as highly as I once did, but still take *safe* investing very seriously.

>>15985160

>>15985238
crypto winter was rough I know that feel

I have cried over being an underpaid pajeet tier wagecuck, so kind of

>>15985737
call temp agencies, if you have transportation you can get your foot in the door a few places

>>15985755
I've been in temp agencies before, the places they send me to always turn me away because they have enough people

>>15985160
Yes. About three weeks into stealing to feed myself I began to crack.

Two months in I began to consider asking family for money and for some that's another line one refuses to cross.

Still won't ever bring myself to that, and if no one ever sees you cry what does it matter? Picture me rolling through middle class now, debtless and on the way up. When you're at the bottom the top always looks insurmountable.
>>15985194
Fuck you anon you don't know shit. Money is lifesaving medication, day to day nourishment, the literal clothes and roof over your head. It's only when you overcome your emotions and attachment to trivial shit like smokes or fagbuck lattes that your ducks line in a row.

You anons act like jaded market-sharps but you wouldn't be here if you didn't enjoy the thrill of riding the tiger. The gut wrenching lows to watching your shitcoin +30% overnight stroking your chub.

I feel like the people who do are the people who "can't understand where all the money's going omg im so poor" while they order more shit on Postmates

In this economy it's hard to see how any reasonable person is not having spare cash as even I, a minimum wagecuck, am able to save 40% of my income

>>15985304
Damn, I'm jelly based anon

>>15985994
basically happens to everyone who uses high leverage. the house always wins.

>>15985334
whoa how did you reach that conclusion, retard?

>>15985160
No. They sure want us to by the look of that article. We are happy poor. Nice fucking try. Blackpilled. Don't fuck with us.

How are you living off $7.25 an hour? How much do you pay in rent?

>>15985160

>>15985160
tears of joy?

>>15985304
Lol ebin XXD

I've cried 2 times since 2004

Yep. I bought one of the early "google homes" type objects when I was like 12. Like 100€, all my birthday money. It was called Nabaztag.

When I figured out it was totally useless and that I got scammed, I got very depressed, almost cried.

I never bought into any early adopter bullshit and never cried over money since.
