During the 2017 bull run I've gone from 50k to $1m, I got lucky and positioned myself well for the 2020 bull run and went from 400k to 15m and now I'm down to $7m

for some reason I feel more poor than I did when I had $1m or even $500k during the 2017 bull run, does anyone feel similarly?

I made it and then I unmade it
CS grad
I spent more than $40k in 2021 on whores and drugs
And now I have to apply for a mcjob because my only life experience for the past 5 years has been buying dog coins and the last 5 tech jobs I tried to get didn't even get my foot in the door probably because of this huge 5 year gap
I have no idea what I'm going to do, might just invest in ROPE. I even started doing more leetcode and it's still not enough.
Tell me this is AI replacing me, just please tell me something so I feel better bros

If that's the case, try this.
Send me 1 ETH and you can help me pay my late rent. That might help you feel fulfilled that you helped a random stranger on a basket weaving forum...

Yeah I did. You feel more poor than you did before even tho you still have money most people only dream of. I can't fathom why that is... would love to be in your position nig nog. I think you feel unfulfilled... don't know how man with 7 digits in an account.

I don't feel poor, I just feel less rich than I did with much less money

Anon, I felt richest of all when I first broke 100k in 2017. Now I have a NW close to 10mil but I definitely don't feel "rich" or even proud of myself. I'm constantly depressed about my life situation.

I was a chad in 2017, you only feel those feels once. You could hit 100mil in a few years and still feel miserable.

>> No.52823856

Yeah. I was 74k in student debt at my worst. At my best I had a net worth in the seven figs and today my net worth is ~140k given my debt and portfolios. I feel poor since I'm not making crazy amounts as an engineer but I'm making enough to be content and a 10k raise does not sound worth losing a comfy WFH job. Wish I cashed out more. Oh well.

If you feel bad while having a 10m NW, you're mentally retarded and likely a goyslop materialist.

Money buys happiness
At a NW of 10m you're practically retarded if you can't just purchase happiness. It's literally on sale. Happiness is a commodity that is bought and sold. And it sounds like you just didn't buy any.

>>52823810
if that's true I'd love to get your perspective as to why you feel that way? I remember Christmas 2017, I was getting to $1m net worth and I never felt richer in my life since

I also remember ever 100k milestone feeling the most adrenaline my body has ever felt and in the 2021 bull run it really didn't feel that way even though I made a lot more money, really weird and dissapointing.

I also now feel like the world is truly going to shit and I didn't feel that way in 2017

It never ceases to amaze me how retarded enough people are to think they have to be truthful on resumes. They're cucks who think they owe people the truth.

It doesn't make sense to share money with retards. People like you are poor because you're retarded and you'll just stay poor. There's no excuse to have a negative bank account beyond something truly extreme.

I think hearing you guys bitch all the time and my subconscious made me self destruct. I bought all the dogecoin clones early on. I sold on the way up or sold it all to early, then bought back in ,etc.. swing trading nonsense. I mean I made ~30k but I would have been millionaire if I had just held for 3-6months. I don't have that feeling of suicide because of it tho. I also never understand the term suicide stack really either. I find it kind of cool I made so many great picks but just failed to hold and sell at right time. I know millions of dollars wont necessarily be a good thing. Its like a really fast car, it depend on whos driving it. It also comes with a lot of maintenance and risk. I worry if I had made that money at the time I would have been a degenerate piece of shit and would have done nothing worth while with it. The real trap would begin there. I would have been "successful" in one sense but completely empty inside. OR maybe I am just coping and I would have used it well and improved the life of myself and everyone around me. /rant
