My parents just took out a massive loan, they are fully on board with debtmaxxing and willing to sell their bodies waging for it despite being past 60 and are expecting me to do the same. If my crypto doesn't moon I'm just going to end it.

>tfw bought $50 of LOBO as a degen play back at $250k mcap a couple of days ago
>Come back to a 5x
What the fuck, why do I always go in hard on the scams and chicken out on the runners???

$49K to $41K in a day

>tfw I'm 33 years old and $60k in debt with nothing to my name
At this point I'm considering just ending it

I am about to make the biggest decision of my life. I am considering joining the Army Reserves for a top-secret clearance. Will the Top Secret Clearance get me a good job in the private/federal/contractor side with minimal experience? I am willing to do anything.

Also would being in the reserves get in the way of me getting a good job or would it only make it harder for me when I am interviewing, since i have to explain that I have to go away weekend a month.

Anyone who has experience in the reserves or knows about Top Security please help. I am on the final step and they expect me to enlist on next Tuesday
I will have BA+MBA+TS Clearance + Comptia Certs once I am done with all this. am I fucking up, or will there be $$$ after my year AIT Training?

>got fudded out of staking

>started investing 2 years ago
>portfolio down 70%
>haven't made a single profit

It's a common story, got fed praise for no reward except getting high grades in my poor ass public school, got it in my head I was hot shit. My parents moved me into a private school for my last 2 years (they are uneducated working class) where I got a reality check and sank into depression. The kids there were absolute monsters, learning so fast I could barely keep up, all the while my parents were pressuring me into studying medicine because "there is no other way for you".

>Got above average but not exceptional on uni entrance exams, no way I was going to cut it for med
>Still tried for 6 years, never got in anyway
>Gave up, parents devastated, never looked at me the same after that
>Studied a comp sci degree after working dead end retail job for 2 years after giving up on med
>Passed with a GPA of 2.1 (lol)
>No social skills developed all this time so sperging in interviews
>32 now and nothing achieved

Worst of all is I never even experienced any sort of dating/sex life or had proper friends in my 20s.

Nope, I'm 33 KHV living with parents and the only thing I have is -$60k in student debt and no job.

So now we're another baggie general, awesome. I still have 100k that isn't worth shit now to hold, guess that's yet another dead bag in my wallet.

I'm so fucked aren't I

Need advice from you accomplished anons:
Be me in my life right now (worried about future and know I will never live like my parents or boomers who bought real estate early)

>about to be 27 very soon
> Bachelors in Communications, about to get MBA in WGU (not sure if this is a dumb idea or good idea in this competetive job market)
>Have worked all kinds of shit office jobs but have +3 years customer service +4 years admin support/basically being a assistant to the CEO

Running out of ideas on how to change my destiny. I can't get any interviews and the ones I do ghost me. I don't know if my looks have to do with it but I'm a mexican dude who feels like he has to prove himself compared to privelaged white dudes with connections.

I am getting desperate, I want to change my destiny and future, what the fuck can I do anons? My asshole abusive brother got a 100k job out of nowhere just by bullshitting and nepotism, while I have to scrape out of a fucking hole. The only thing I have going for me financially is a wfh job that allows me to make good use of my time (hence the mba i will be doing online)


At this point I am considering
> A join Army as an officer in reserves (travel world, learn to be a leader, do incredible shit and gain real life experience= basically fuck this rat race shit and do something meaningful)

>Start a business I like and just fucking run with it

> travel the world and go to asia and fuck like crazy while living like a king with my wfh job

> literally anything else, help me anons

What can someone like me do? You guys are the business experts right?

literally any advice you think will help, I will take. I have read so much business and self help books, I know what to do. But this recession is fucking brutal.

Welp this was a total wash, I've cut my losses (-30%) and left a small moonbag just in case. Just another lesson to me to stop trading shitcoins, I never win with them.

AI is getting too good, I'm not remotely in the same situation as this fictional wagie but feeling second hand depression from this story.

>>54232134
I thought I was a smartass and tried flipping alts when BTC bottomed out, BTC is almost 2x from bottom and I'm like 30% down from my initial, fuck I hate myself

>>53973183
I only started learning about finance at 30, my parents actively kept me away from anything to do with finances so I could focus on my "studies" and papa gave me everything I wanted until he got fired and I did a bit of digging and found out we were $2M in debt...

I need to rant, I feel like im lost and hopeless. I always thought I'd be somewhere better at 26, I got my degree in communications and never got a "career" yet. I met a girl and moved out of my parents but we argue often and idk if it was worth it or if I love her. I've been ghosted and rejected so many times from jobs more times than I can count. My options feel like they are dwindling and I feel incapable, I work on my resume every day and still cant past second or first phase interviews.

Idk what im doing anymore, I moved out thinking I'd make it if I left my parents, except I only have one wfh job that pays "enough". Im so desperate I will do anything, what options do I have to improve my life in one year? I have one year before my lease is up with my gf who I moved out with due to convenience. My whole plan has been to get a better job.

what should I do ? certs? military officer? crpyto? Anything please help

I sold my 200b d0b0 for a shitcoin which rugged, I'm ngmi

My sister suddenly became desperate to become a home owner this year, I got fucking rugged by my parents to give her a deposit. Fucking trusted my parents with my money and they betrayed me hard. I was holding $100k in their mortgage offset account while waiting for market to bottom out now its gone and my sister is a bank slave, I'm back to being poor and have to save it up again.

>>53877417
I moved in with 10x the amount I was originally going to buy and very overinvested, I pretend I was early and the huge number is gains instead of my wagie bux.

I have 100k, it is already over $1k, I can't afford to splash $10k on a meme

>>53863696

>>53816916
I had the choice to put $10k in this at $3 or $10k in the shitcoin casino and I chose the casino, my $10k is now $5k, I've fucked this mini cycle up and want to kill myself.

I want to get the hell out of customer service, I've wasted so many years handling angry customers and their bullshit.

What are some certificates or training courses I can do under a year to get me on track to getting a 100k job in the near future. My skills are a Bachelors in Communications, 6+ years of admin support/customer service.

Im looking at different google certs and even IT stuff, I need help. Any anons who got out of monkey cage work and actually made a career for themselves? Please I need help.
