btw everything i learned about life that allowed me to go from literally homeless to the main breadwinner in my family in less than a year, it's much harder coming to terms with the fact that you fucked up at 65 than 26. that is the situation my mom is in. both financially and physical/cognitive health. other than a few missing molars, i have no criminal charges, a mostly clean bill of health (i quit smoking and have no missed a single day of cardio yet since i started [3-4 mins at a time max])

but yeah dude i had to come to terms with the fact that both my current salary as well as any investments i had tossed away because i hadn't yet figured out the right combination of molecules that work optimally for me (bupenorphine, phenibut, boatloads of [LEGAL HEMP BILL FUCK OFF FEDS] cannabis, and amphetamine(s) on workdays or the occasional night where I need to correct my sleeping schedule by staying up.

it is absolutely crushing to only realize how to properly plant a tree at 65+

Seeing is believing. I've seen investments pay off, I've seen options pay off. I've seen it all, but my life hasnt fundamentally changed at all.

I was hammered at a wood n tap when I made 14k in a day. Too drunk to even think about anything besides giving the. Bartender my number lol

I don't even gamble anymore.

You're joined reddit on my birthday. July 29th. Anyway, I have work in 3 hours.

Better to learn how to plant a tree at 65 than to learn how to clear your own forest 4 years into it. Stocks are the only product I've seen in my life that I feel I'd be happy buying/selling
