Throughout my 20s I lived to cons00m and cons00med to live.

- Latest games consoles/phones nu product! nuuu product!!!!
- Nu special edition Nike trainers I must cons00m
- Too lazy to cook need more time to cons00m so would order uber eats.

Even with the jeet rug pulls. Biz has probably financial saved me. Any other reformed cons00mers here?

Same same. I bought way to much crap in my twenties. I could have retired by now if I put that money in crypto.

And in hindsight it wasn't even worth it. The stuff I bought did not bring me joy and are now collecting dust.

I used to consoom when I was 16-19. I obviously didn't have much money back then but I still have blown a few thousand on clothing, accessories and video games in those 3 years instead of putting them into crypto, would've made it already but it is what it is, learnt from my mistakes. I hope I can make it in the next 3 years.

Still consooming. Just bought a 3d printer and two new 4k monitors

Exact same feeling fren - the joy of seeing your crypto/stock shoot up is incomparable.

>>26358354
You're fine fren you've learnt early and in a better position than me at 31. Wasted that time cons00ming. In honesty I'm just happy I found Biz was DCAing into ETH & Link last year before now and in a position I wouldn't be homeless if I lost my job!

>>26358409
Ah well, those monitors will help with trading :)

Literally bought every single interesting 3ds and wii u game that came out on release day for "muh collection"
Didn't even play 95% of em
Would go into used vidya stores and casually drop $300-500 on rare shit

At one point all this stuff just started putting pressure on my brain, like it was taking so much room and I wasn't even playing it, even put it all in a bunch of boxes and put it on my closet. Realized I'm becoming a minimalist, because shit that I have and don't use "annoys" me.

Ended up ebaying all the games in a span of 3 years. Took a bunch of boxed consoles to a nearby store that gave me 50% of the ebay price. Didn't want to deal with shipping those fuckhuge boxes.

I also have a couple of NHL and Fifa jerseys that I don't wear. Been trying to figure out what to do with the.

The last time I bought a pair of sneakers: 2017, at an outlet (cosmetic defects). Discounted from like $120 to $50.

The last time I bought a tv/monitor: 2011. Samsung. Did lots of reseaech to get the right panel. Still works fine.

t. OG linklet. Over 30k linkies. No debt. Dr;ns.

How do I get more ruthless?

Reformed consoomer.

Things I've bought that are collecting dust :
Huge TV
3d printer
x2 Swiss watches
VR headset
ps3
Ableton board
Car (should have gotten used one)

I'm going to get rid of a load of this shit and put it into crypto.

Trying to keep my expenses as low as possible going forwards.

Yeah biz seems to be a life changer for a lot of people. There's a lot of trash being shilled here but stuff like LINK were true and solid investments

That's funny. Thrifting for old games was my main hobby throughout my early 20's. It paid off too as a lot of the stuff I picked up went up in value 5 to 6 times over the past several years. Obviously I would have gotten better returns from crypto but I had fun doing it so no regrets.

And for the "good luck selling" people. I already have and it's super fucking easy if you just put shit up on Amazon.
