My worst investments have all been in myself.
>School was a bad investment for me wasted 5 years. I totally missed the point and sat in my room and jerked off / played games all day. I got a good degree out of it, but it isn't that useful without the social network and skills that I should have been getting.
>Decided to try and start a software business after school, bad investment. Wasted 5 years of my life on delusions of grandeur.
>Finally give up on business and get a job, the job is a complete mess. The work itself and the products suck, and I'm constantly stressed out about being fired or let go. Wasted 3 years here so far.

If I could do it all again I'd go to school for something else (and go to a different school altogether), and I think that would fix most of my problems.

That'd be my bachelor's in... ugh, fine art.

I hated that shit by second year but i still stuck it out the full four anyway. Even worked as a illustrator for a couple years after. Waste of time and absolute waste of money. I could have learned the same things by myself in the evenings while working a job. I no longer work in an art related field.

Investing a year of my life into a girl that had borderline personality disorder. The only upside is other people marry and or get have kids with them. Some find out they had bpd years in when it's difficult to get out, and I managed to find out early.

To give an example. Mine told me the first 2 months all the time to not use condoms because she was on the pill, and in addition to that, she was unable to have kids. She eventually gave up trying to convince me and it turned out she wasn't on the pill lol.

Read up on girls with bpd and be aware! 15 minute research can save you. They use everyone and pick their victims.

I still had lots of money left over to put into crypto if I wanted to, it's just the thought that I invested 1.5k to make what's essentially pocket change compared to what I could have had if I just bought eth or btc. Also there's a chance my government might not even be able to pay me when it matures because they're constantly having cash flow problems.

Too long of a relationship with a junkie; I should've "sold instead of hold" earlier, on account of me living with her kept me away from my parents when they needed me most: around the time they died. The next girlfriend wasn't really any better. Fuck these bitches. I'm fucking bitter now because I'm all out of sad. Recently since the New Year I've shunned society, just staying in, right here, lurking & posting while trading (hodling and watching the market, really). I don't know why I'm posting this blog here. All I know right now is that you have to buy ChainLink while it's still under a dollar you dumb motherfuckers who haven't yet. Also fuck feelings. I'm dumb. I cut them out. I'm numb. Heed Buddha: be numb, for suffering is bullshit, so just stop suffering. Fuck suffering. Goddamnit, where's my gun?
