Yeah, I'm happier and better financially, but still poor in terms of buying a house or a nice car.
But at least I don't have any debt on my name

>>56867692
100k better

>>56867735
You lost 10 years of your life. Not having debt doesn't seem like a good pay off for 10 years.

>>56867692
when he came out as trans i unironically became sad. i never have emotions but this one fucked with me really bad because i liked him for so many years.

>>56867940
Fuck joe for doing this to himself. Fuck him for doing this to US

Ruh roh

>>56867776
>the millennial experience

>>56867692
he transitioned also to a jew nose?

>>56867692
Oh helll naw wasnt this guy JOE GOES????!?!?

>>56867692
I used to watch this guy's travel vids when I was in high school, they were pretty hilarious at times. What the fuck.

>>56867692
Me on the left

now joe looks like some sort of horror movie tranny who will skin me alive. and not only that, i think he's a dogshit internet article writer like an actual woman. what a fucking faggot.

>>56867692
>Are you better off compared to 10 years ago?
I have more stuff and freedom now compared to ten years ago, but less friends and the social fabric of the nation is collapsing, so... mixed results I guess.

>>56867692
>10 years ago
>Graduated high school, not a penny to my name, terrible with women, starting to go to college
>Lived abroad on $300 per month, including rent
>Now
>Multi-millionnaire married with kids and a career in finance
Yeah.

>>56867692
I'm considerably worse off and all I've done is work

>>56867692

Joe goes to the HRT clinic

>>56867692
10 years ago I was still in college with heavy debt and hadn't lost my virginity at age 24. Now I have a decent job, 7 figure net worth, and have had decent sex throughout my 30s so far.

>>56868061
That's the guy. Joe goes insane was a bad idea.

>>56867692
Well, 10 years ago I was poor and living with my parents, two years ago I started exploiting VINU and shorting it, now I live alone, have a car, have a gf, waiting for a kid, found a wonderful job and have my best life, I kinda owe it to VINU lol

>>56868730
Man that makes me confused and sad. I watched most of his videos and he was charming and funny in an awkward witty kind of way cant belive he became tranny. He could've definitely picked up some of the gurls in his travels with his jokes wtf happened to him?

>>56867692
hell no, life is so much worse.

Well lets see. 10 years ago I was making less but really I was saving more cause a fucking trip to KR or WMT would only cost $100. Life hadn't tossed me any wrenches in my path yet either. Now? I make more. Shit cost more and now due to those wrenches in my way I'm in debt. The only good part is least I got my damn house before that shit just exploded in price to.

>>56867692
I also transitioned but I look like a teenage girl not a man in a dress, it helps that I never looked like a man to begin with due a intersex disorder

The amount of money I made in a month 10 years ago is pretty much the disposable money I spend on hookers every other week now. On the other hand, 10 years ago I had friends and the only "good" (as far as women go) girlfriend I've ever had.

>>56867940
Same.
And whats worse is he started editing all of his videos to adhere to his new woke persona. For example, it was common in many of his videos to sneak a quick cheek kiss from women. All those moments have been entirely scrubbed from his videos.

I had to spend some time ripping his original vids from the internet archive. Still some work is gone forever

>>56868035
You act as if it won’t be even worse for future generations

>>56869903
Yeah but most of them are mutts and foreign shitskins so I don't care about their problems.

>>56867692
still the same but more money

>>56867692
10 years ago I was a drug addicted evil atheist psychopath who is lucky to be alive today and today I am a father of three, a husband, and a Christian going through rcia. I’m so much better wiser and happier. But I’m also ten years older and that sucks lol.

>>56869891

What a surprise, a guy who has boundary issues with women ends up trooning out.

8xkgw

>>56867692
Decades mean nothing to me so long as I remain in good health, all these faggots on X complaining about aging are out of shape soys and fat birds

>>56867692
This proves that the trannie thing is a psychological fashion statement rather than a real underlying biological aberration of gender.

Not at all. Most money I've made is 15 dollars an hour. Didn't finish college. Still don't own a home, not even a car right now.

Honestly thought I would have drank myself into the grave before 30. Here I am at 35.. Haven't really drank in about 7 years now. I guess that's an improvement.

No kids.

Honestly just waiting for the right time to stick the Glock in my mouth. Probably too much of a coward to go through with it.

>>56870184
Don't do it fren, a new bull run is starting so wagmi. Find peace in getting closer to God anon.

>>56867692
Absolutely fucking not.
I have money and a job now but essentially no friends and haven’t had a gf for 4 years

aw hell nah not my nigga joe goes fuck you op

>>56869935

Based. Stay on the straight and narrow Anon.
>Verification not required.

>>56867692
Much, but I feel that the world has gotten much worse.

>>56867692
Better in some aspects, worse in others. Financially speaking worse.

>>56867692
omg literally indecernable from a real factual woman with a bagina

I can buy an apartment back in Zagreb for cash, or a small one in a smaller city here ing Germany.
I'm very muscular, I look much better, I can get a job, I don't need booze to have fun at all, I had actual sex, I'm still funny and entertaining to pretty much everyone I meet

But also I am 35, tremendously lonely, I need a gf but I work as a programmer remotely from my apartment in the most boring city with the least amount of females in Germany and I can't speak the language, I am a huge extrovert but came here just 2 months before Corona lockdowns happened and for months and months I did not see or speak with a live person at all, this year I was invited to one party from a gym buddy and I immediately mingled with everyone and got a nice girl to follow me around there but then I fucked up the date part by being too passive since this was my only chance in years and I did not to push it faster. I get mires from girls in the gym but they come with their BFs, I get 0 matches on Badoo and Bumble even though I have normal pics. Everything I do I get shit return on investment, everything goes wrong even with careful planning.
I am miserable and will return back to my home country like I planned initially. What if I'm too old now?

I legit have noting that makes me happy in the moment, I only have delayed gratification. I only have hope and spite pushing me.
I wasted my life.

>>56870778
Similar. I have friends and always will since I am capable of being very charming
However I'm short and I have no idea where to meet girls in this fucking famously boring city of chink engineers and homos

>>56871576
Sounds like you pushed yourself in a corner and refuse to let go. Your mindset is the problem. You should move cities.

>>56871576
same state of mind
42, lonely, trying to chase girls half my age. 20s and 30s was horror for me

>>56867692
no nigga I'm not better of 10 years ago I was a kid

>>56868159
cap x2

>>56867692
yes, a lot better off. Thing is my situation was so shit 10 years ago, even being much better off now my situation is far from great. Its work in progress...

>>56871602
Yea. I will move back next year.
I did not get much chances in life, being dirt poor (like not having hot water till 14yr old, 50% unemployment in Croatia for people under 30 when I finished college) so I guess that is why I am clinging to this place and salary. I fought tooth and nail for everything.

>>56871609
I also feel the need to be a dad one day.
We will get trough this. Alternative is even worse even though its easier to give up

>>56869903
How the fuck is that supposed to make it better?

>>56869935
That's fucking retarded. You become a fucking sheep to stay afloat? How do you just stomach bullshit like that?

>>56871707
bullshit according to you and every other edgy 16 year old?

>>56867692
You know, for a second I thought I wasn't. I was down on myself, missing the good days of 2013. There is really so much I miss from that time - it wasn't all perfect but man, to have some of it back now. Anyway, all of that passed immediately when I saw your pic-related and realized how much worse things could be. I feel great now, my life is awesome. Thanks, anon.

>>56868049
the profile pic is small but it looks like a total demon cartoon

>>56869913
unfathomably based

>>56871734
According to any free thinker.
I get that following a set of societal rules makes it easier to live. But how do you cope with knowing you are sheep? You know that the rules are retarded yet you chose to follow them anyway.
What's seperating you from poojeets and arabs if you just give in and accept the norm of being fucking retarded?

>>56871788
You don't have to be a sheep to get married, have kids and be happy. You just have to be a paid thinker

I was 12 years old a decade ago, my parents by an extreme fluke bought our family home just after the GFC at rock bottom and with a near 0% mortgage, since then I finished school and college(*not univeristy), working wekend and part time jobs throughout, then 5 years ago my father and I started our own business, I live at home paying a token rent, minimal expenses, all my liquid cash goes into investments either back into the business or my 'folio, so while I might be earing less than some of my friends and am going to be waiting longer to move out, I'd say I'm in a better position than most people my age and certianly better than when I was 12

No, being 16 with no responsibilities and a goth gf to fuck all day is priceless

>>56870184
Go nomad mode or something. Do crazy shit before you die

>>56871943
this
I was 21, playing WoW and fucking around, my gf (now wife) just discovered that she loves anal
now I just stare at crypto all day and work a miserable job as a project manager (money is good but this job is bullshit)
it was wild

>>56871921
drug addicted evil atheist psychopath -> Christian going through rcia
That's the retarded part guy.

>>56871998
The more I go through the teaching of the church the more I see the wisdom and truth therein. You call me a sheep but I am more self aware than ever before.

>>56867692
Why do men do this to themselves?
He didn't appear like he had a mental disorder. He was pretty intelligent and funny. What the fuck happend? Can this happen to me? I DONT WANT TO BECOME A TRANSSEXUAL

>>56871929
Im in a similar position, except my family left me completely alone. Probably for the best tho, now i manage my own finances, do everything for myself. Im still wageslaving but i make most of my money with alts and after i switched my DEX to dexscreener i started making even more profit with crypto than with my burger flipper job. I haven't started uni yet but i plan to next year. I just need to find a good friend group and potentially a gf and im gonna be pretty fucking great.
>>56871943
Wouldn't know, i spent basically all my time growing up finishing hs and working to pay for food. Sounds cool tho

>>56872071

>>56872104
Then dont
>I DONT WANNA GO CRAZY
Nobody is attacking you or looking for you to become trans. Just ignore it and go about your day, people like this have existed forever its not news. If your masculinity is fragile enough that you consider the possibility of becoming trans as something that could happen to you then you might as well be transitioning as we speak because the only men who are scared of trans people are closeted trans throwing shit at others for doing what they want to do but cant admit.

>>56867940
They/them are happy now! No need to worry. The beauty of these times is one can be their true self!

>>56867692
By a shitton. No need to explain or LARP. Sometimes I wake up in disbelief.

>>56871788
fuck you are retarded, being an edgy contrarian asshole for the sake of avoiding normality because normality is bad is not some paradigm shifting experience that sets you apart in any positive way. it makes you an unlikeable, unwanted, vile, disgusting animal. making the choice to be so isnt based, its fucking retarded, and making the choice to actively be not is not being a sheep, its moving closer to god. the rules are not retarded, you are for not understanding them, and in a simpler, better world, you would be lynched. quickly.

>>56872127
False equivalence, opinion discarded

>>56872214
You're a conformist for the sake of normality because to you normality is unachievable otherwise. Not a paradigm shifting experience either guy. It does not set you apart in any positive way, doesn't make you likeable, wanted or pleasant, it makes you a heard animal. It's not based, it's retarded.

>>56872119
Based, you're writing your own self-made man story dude. Congrats

I'm a 31 year old virgin. Which is a bit worse than being a 21 year old virgin

don't waste the year and just go straight trad

>>56867692
Wtf I used to watch this faggots videos and it turns out he was a faggot all along. God damn.

>>56868665
>>56871650
Nope, not lying. I got into BTC heavily in 2016 and did well from there. Almost all my "success" is thanks to getting into crypto early.

Financially, Socially, Psychologically, and Spiritually, 2013 might have been the worst year of my life. I have more net worth now than I made money in a year back then.

Well, in 2023 I was shit spiritually, I was living in my parents house and I had no money of course. But I felt a bit more alive and free-thinking, but in a shit way, would often have strong suicidal impulses. Now I've pretty much killed my emotions so fortunately I don't get those depressive panics but I still somewhat wish I could feel more - both feel more sadness and feel more joy. Sometimes I wish I could feel that sadness and loneliness I felt as a teenager again.

Financially - really difficult to get even basic labour jobs since autism makes it very hard to sell yourself like normies do. I'm not terrible at trading but I'm always experiencing a group of small moves up, then a big move down. I've had a stock fall -88.12% which is still in my portfolio as of writing. I haven't even had half that the other way. On the whole I'm profitable, but since my worst moves are worse than my best moves are good, I'm not killing it in any way. Swing/trend trading seems to be the only thing that works, I have no ability for day trading.

After 12 fucking years of wanting a girlfriend I finally got one. However, by the time it has happened all that feeling of longing, of craving, 'I wanna cute girlfriend so so much' has all but disappeared. Life, what a joke. At least I became attractive last year.

back then my mother recently died, but we lived in a paid off house and my father had a good pension. Grew up in a good country so no big complaints in my childhood.
Stuff got worse fast in my teens with my dad getting ill and me realising I was gay after being asexual for the longest time. Couldn't burden him with anything so I tried liking girls, but I couldn't. He he died in the end without ever knowing I was gay, in 23 days around 4 years ago now.
After his death, I was multiple times close to ending myself to the point where I was traveling around the country to find spots to an hero. I had money, I inherited a house and even had a pretty gud crypto bag, but I couldnt enjoy anything, everything felt empty.
Then, I got a boyfriend and I've never felt more alive. I actually have goals now, plan for the future and want to succeed. I wish I could tell my younger self that it was all worth it in the end.

it's a shame you're making his transition about you and how you feel, instead of considering how and why they did it.
If you liked them so much, you wouldn't have cared if they transitioned and if anything supported their career moreso. Instead your transphobic bigotry blinds you from being compassionate. I forgive you though.

>>56874144
he's not "phobic", he's disgusted, big difference.
