Im legit depressed af dudes. What do? I could gamble on shitcoins but I want a sure thing. Youd think making more money than my dayjob on gambling memecoins would make me happy but I feel more depressed than ever.

Friend of mine is sitting on 7 figures and I wish I wouldve bought in just a year earlier. Fugg..

Because you do it again, and again, and again. It's not the fucking lottery. You need to make educated guesses and continue to parlay your profits into more profits. OR you hold long term in the hopes it becomes the next big currency that is actually used world wide. Either way, look at your profits, not the lost potential. It sucks if you sell before $1mil and you cash out at $300k. But you know what sucks worse? Cashing out at zero. Profit is profit faggot.

I don't understand why you wouldn't just cash out 300k and pump the cash into a basket of dividend stocks - meaning essentially trading price appreciation for a general 11 percent yearly return.

36k / year can have you live a comfy life indefinitely in Thailand no problem.

Meanwhile, if you were to buy a house in (((Los Angeles))) for 800k (1.5 bdr 1 bath) you'll still be kiked even AFTER you pay the house off, with 15k/year property taxes FOREVER. You'll literally be on the hook for generating that extra cashflow.

Meanwhile, I'm in Thailand spending way less than that ON RENT and living like a king, with cheap and affordable health care.

I could list more reasons an illiquid 5x leveraged """investment""" like a house is a bad idea but I'll stop there.

I'll tell you a story OP.

My net wort is about 900k euro. It's been that much for about 4 years. Hasn't grown, hasn't shrunk. On the 31st of July 2015 I had a retirement calculator open trying to work out if I could possibly retire early and live off that sum of money while investing in index funds.

In the other tab I had /biz/ open browsing threads about Ethereum being listed on exchanges for the first time. I was so engrossed in the retirement calculation that I didn't pay any attention to the people who were making rational arguments about why it was going to moon. As a consequence, I missed the opportunity of a lifetime.

The moral is that you should be spending less time asking yourself "Do I have enough to retire" and more time asking "what are the merits of this idea/investment and what could it be worth in future"

-Company profits rise with inflation, so the dividend would rise too.
-Stock is worth more over time, so owning it beats inflation.
