I rejected a $30k severance package to leave voluntarily and got laid off for $0 2 months later

So many mistakes and I still came out ahead in the end.
Shorted a $200k portfolio after the march 2020 crash to $20k while the market started to pump. Finally decided to embrace the pump in may and bought shitcoins that put me into $400k by september 2020.
Had 14m ROSE, of which I sold half at 30c for a shitcoin that dumped 99% lol. Still managed to sell 7m ROSE at the very top and never looked back. Bought a house, car and cash in the bank. Now just cruising and waiting to rebuy.

>Not looking further into Bitcoin even though I was aware of the GPU mining mechanics back in 2012.

>Buying 2 Bitcoin worth in Robin hood even though it didn't have a wallet option back in 2018.

>Not looking into Chain link back in 2018 even though I knew about its existence being spammed on this board.

I still managed to get a suicide stack but I could've retired early if I was dcaing with full awareness.

I should never let things slip up that I have minor awareness of. Lesson learned.

having a ltr gf. i cringe when i think of the thousands of dollars over the years i spent on stupid shit like overpriced bar drinks and restaurant food and all the stupid going out shit that cost a fortune. not to mention the exorbitant rent of city apartment and all the ubers and delivery food. holy shit a 5 year relationship probably easily cost me over 100k when you factor in rent. i could have stayed living at home wtih my parents like an "incel" and literally had enough to buy my own house now

trusting my brother since I got my first job in 2018 he begged to borrow some money. first it was to help him start up day trading then he asked for more and bragged on he was making so much. then he convinced me to give him more and he'll make me money while he takes 20% then later fat faggot got comfortable asking me to buy him stuff online and that he would "pay me back" he accrued massive debt with me. he then later talked me into buying dogecoin and started pressuring me to put thousands into it. I was saving up for a car. in the end I still don't have a car and I cut him out of my life and legit told him he has bitch tits and to kill himself and called him a bald fag whose almost 40 and still living with mom (as do I but it's because I never bought a car because that fat retard kept talking me out of my savings). I plan on buying my brand new car this year in cash and since I cut that fat retard out of my life my life got better. I got a wholesale deal on waifu action figures from a toy store whose social media I admin. Picrel is the toys I got wholesale deals on with an admin discount too

From 22-24 I worked for a small business and made like $8.50/hr and hit 700 hours a week. Lived at home as a net negative.
That said, that reset my mental health after failing out of college (3 great years, life changes broke my will on the 4th). I now make $130k/year in the midwest now, which is the most successful in my families history. Married and happy. Those 2 years were certainly financially a bad choice compared to even working a $15/hr construction job at the time. But in the end, it was like an investment.
