as someone who has yolo'd many times before and lost all life savings, honestly I don't care at all, I feel nothing
I will always have the government dole to rely on and nothing else really matters

It felt wrecking. You don't really obsess that much over the fact that you've lost your money, but all the time you're feeling like some part of you is missing, the part that gave you peace and confidence and meaning to your life. It feels like the world is falling apart.

It hurts because you see all that you could have done with that money, maybe the loved ones that you could have cared for, the things you should have invested in, and the sweat that it took you to get it. You're also disappointed with yourself. It's a nasty feeling.

Do any Americans have any real sort of "life savings"? I'm pretty sure 85% of households are drowning in debt because of their cars or that they constantly purchase trivial shit with their credit cards

I didn't really lose my life savings, I spent my crypto gains. Travelled the world, now I'm back.

Money is cool, I'm gonna make more of it, not having much isn't the end of the world.
