Pretty well, made 12% in stocks and crypto over the last couple of months, comfy 170k TC job at tech company, student loans on forebearance and based devos extended it so ignoring that for now, and just closed on a condo in suburban LA. Yourself?

>>24802782
Final panel interview tomorrow for what would be a life-changing job and an escape from my current hell one. Nervous as shit.

>>24802782
I'm struggling dealing with this success..I'm so rich while many are so poor... markets are about to plummet no way I make it

Excellent. Bought some dips today

>>24802782
been unemployed for 10 months, applied to over 200 jobs with no luck, but been learning how to trade over the past few years and finally pulled the trigger in May. Have made more since then than I did in any year being employed, and its only been 7 months

>>24802782

>>24802782
If trumps win ill get one btc.. what do u think his chances are?

>>24802782
Tired of wagecucking for nothing and living with my parents, hate christmass, invested in some shitcoin in hopes of eventually getting out of this stalemate mess i've been in for 5 years

>>24803307
You realize he’s still president, and abandoned all of that shit to focus on bogus election bullshit?
>>24803330
Unironically zero. I’m not even a dem but Trump totally blew it. The pol prediction dates for events have been shifting back every week kek (12/1, then 12/8, then 12/21, now January...)

>>24803467
same, at least this year we're not doing a big family gathering, so my relatives won't be there to judge me. Hopefully by next year I'll be out.

>>24803282
started with basic youtube videos in 2017, transitioned into reading alot of trading books focused on technical analysis. Thought it was a meme at first, the hardest and longest part was eventually grasping what TA actually is : statistics and probability, not just a magic cheat code. Then focused on books centered around risk management and capital preservation, followed by backtesting my strategies on almost all markets, individual stocks, indices, commodities,crypto etc.
I also read books focused on fundamental analysis and found that much easier to understand as I have a background in accounting (reading through SEC filings, looking at net income, costs etc was second nature to me). Now I just use fundamental analysis and macro to determine what to invest in, and use TA to time entries and exits. I dont day trade, mainly focused on swing trading (weeks to months)

>>24802782
Been living minimally all my life. Like 300-400€ a month on all expenses. Had some money saved from last summers work. Now going all in crypto. Gonna take out a student loan. Either I'll break my shackles with a bang or be proud of my attempt.

>>24803493
Why is Trump so bad at recognizing swamp members when he is trying to replace one with a new one?
He is the only responsible for the current chaos because he didn't do anything to prevent it when we saw at least 1 year in advance the different platforms strengthening their censorship to prepare for the election manipulation.

>Get dream job, covid happens. In lockdown for months. Start new job again and one week later car drives into me doing 70. Back in lockdown and learning to walk again. Lost job and have to wait three years to claim loses back. Its all so tiresome

Don't worry, frens WAGMI

I bit less consumed by madness than usual today. I might get something done.

>>24802782
Great anon. Thinking I'm cycling up into a hypomanic episode. I'm opening a business. Should have it all up and running by the time I crash down and want to kms.

>>24802782
Pretty terrible. Job I hate. Wife and two kids which is cool. Very little money saved up, I basically have always wanted to start a business but I’m not “good” at anything.

Girl on my team does fuckall and I've mentioned it to my manager for weeks now and nothing has changed so today I barely did shit. This same girl has also recently been saying she has all the meetings. Today she had 3 meetings and im not sure what these meetings are about since I do the same job and she doesn't do shit. Since my manager allows this to continue then I will do the same.

>>24804039
Based

>>24802951
>living in LA

you do realize everyone is leaving that hellhole

Have come to terms with my current job cucking me out of a promotion and have been getting my resume back out there. Its probably for the best anyway, I feel like I've grown out of the position. Excited for what the new year brings

>>24803913
Anon if this is unironically true I am so sorry and hope you make it.

>>24802782
>Be Philippine History teacher for 8 years, make PHP3O,OOO.

>Tell me personally I'm a great positive influence etc.
>He makes PHP170,000 as Cloud Engineer in his 1st year

>>24805441
>PHP170,000
that 170k pesos is per month...right?

>>24802782
Have finally completed the majority of the character classes abilities for my video game. Only a few changes on two classes as there may be better ability choices and the coding for the those two in particular is more difficult. Other than that progress is moving at a snails pace ever since I started working on the art for character abilities. Really annoyed at myself for taking so long as I know I've been lazy about it but have been distracted by stocks as I really want to escape wageslavery. Once the abilities basic parts are implemented I'll probably move on to making the necessary special artistic effects for each ability that this applies too which is only a few of them.

At least once that is done I can finally move on to enemy ai and attack design (which would be easier than the actual characters) or more area design as I only have about 25% of the areas I want to put in at the moment with only one of those complete on the artistic side the others being partially done soley to test changing between areas and other aspects.

At the ratre I'm going I'm probably gonna be working soon as this nor stocks look like theyll be succesful enough anytime soon to let me escape the wagecage soon.

>mined btc in the early days

I would trade it all to be tall and White

Maybe 2021 will be the year I get to penetrate a female without paying for it

( ._.)

>>24805988

>>24806013
5'3" jungle asian

( ;_;)

>>24806248

Go back to your roots anon. Become the jungle king!

>>24806248
F, i have nothing against you personally, but i understand why youd be unhappy. Life fucks over people but at least youre richer than 90% of the planet

>>24806248
Nobody fucks for free anon, not even chad. And even if you think chad gets to fuck for free, he can't monopolize any woman. Just relax, lower your expectations, and continue paying to fuck. There's really no other alternative for any of us.

>>24803220
Anyone can make money in a bull market anon.

>>24803134
I hope you fail and stay with us forever.

>>24805413
Thank you fren

>>24806405
Thanks for the kind word, biz bro. May your trade go green.

>>24806377
That's my last remaining cope. My parents are trying to fix me up with a literal third world women that are 90 day fiance tier. But the word is I am being rejected for being too short. The thing is they don't know about my crypto gains. All they know is that I have a decent job and a house that they think I have a mortgage on. They suggested that I save up to get some plastic surgery.

>>24802782
well

>>24806422
Not only is this true for the first world, is is becoming more true in the third world as cell phones and social media become ubiquitous. The days of marrying a virgin and having kids is quickly ending even in the poorest countries.

>>24806444
checked and true, always got to keep euphoria in check, dont confuse brains for a bull market. But I wouldnt conflate buying stocks due to hype with no fundamental/technical reasons with actual trading.

>>24806451
why?

>>24802951
Not much man just closed on my mansion in NYC , Make over 500k/ Year doing Mathematics for a Top 500 Company, Your doing good bud!

>>24803872
Based You will make it anon , Takes Balls to do what your doing

Same old fren, same old

>>24805988
The money Can buy you what you need take the emotion out of it. Buy some Yabba and fuck some Hookers man. At least your richer than most people

>>24803542
Same man Fuck this shit

>>24802782
Not good today anon. Not good. Lots of deadlines due before Christmas. I only get one day off that week. The group Christmas lunch was today at a Mexican restaurant. I skipped it because I didn't want to see or talk to any of them. Both of my bosses came by to ask where I was. I said "oh man I forgot all about it sorry." I just want to be left alone. I hate my job.

>>24804039
I won't but I hope you all do.

>>24808227
I have every 'thing' that I want. I'm set with material possessions. Yes, I am very grateful for that. I am in my own home doing easy remote work while people in my parent's country are working themselves to death and whoring themselves out to make in a year for what I spend in a weekend to fuck escorts.

The thing is I am alone in an empty house and the only thing in life I have to look forward to is to fuck strippers that need money since the local clubs are shut down (I'm getting excellent prices, btw). And it's going to be like that for decades. As a side note, don't invite whores to your place, always set up a third location. Local hotel rates are rock bottom. It's never been better on a cost per ejaculation metric.

Although I didn't get a home with double height cathedral ceilings, when you're as short as I am, all ceilings are double height.

>>24808621
You sound totally controlled by sexual desire and gluttony. What's your parents country? Are you some first gen westernized immigrant that went full degenerate or something?

>>24803216

buy cliffs

>>24802782
just worked my last day of the year wagie

I kissed a girl for the first time. I coulda ben with lots of girls like girls have asked me out but this girl was the first I acutally loved, man I want to marry this girl. I'm 24yo and I've bever been in love before. Feels great fman, I'm drunk as hell rn but I'm happy as a clam thisis maybe the happiest I've ever been, love is one hell of a drug

>>24809074
And, I wanna add that crypto has helepd give methe confidence to ask her out and stuff. I' have a decent job and I'm in shape and white but it's crypto and the potential that holding link ahs that gave me some confidence ince mysdelf. I really think holding chainlink helps if it's only hope it really makes me feel like I'll one day own this world and holding link gives lots of confidenc.e

>>24808621
Where can you meet strippers willing to whore themselves?

> bought ABNB at 150
Well, anon, I'd say I'm definitely holding something

>>24810027
>company which has never made a profit

>in the worst hit industry in the world
>going into a third wave of covid
>only possible reason for an IPO was to allow venture capitalists to dump their bags
>anon buys this

>>24802782
Got fucked on IPO Airbnb, lost 600$. but i learned a lesson.

>>24806568
Damn not ez. I look decent and most likely schizo. Put in my 2 weeks today. Losing it

Not well. Back in the office after several weeks of field work and boy they have been saving up so much shit to dump on me now that I'm back. Gonna be impossible to hit these deadlines

>>24806422
I fuck for free all the time. And sometimes they even give me money and gifts.

>>24802782
I wish I could take a few months of break without losing my job...

>>24805988
>I would trade it all to be tall and White
