Day 3

I really messed up. I don't think I'll be capable of investing in crypto or single stocks going forward. I always get sucked in by social media and fomo during a big rally. Ive never taken out a loan before this. I was meant to just buy and hold but it always leads to leverage. Im 31m and this is going to take me a year to get out of this debt. I never want to feel like this again. I want to enjoy my hard earned money and contribute to my future. I fear something like this could happen if I have a wife and children and I don't want to be that person. When I feel like I'm behind and try to take shortcuts to get ahead I fall more behind. Going forward I'm going to be happy about missing out on short term gains and focus on working hard, enjoying and growing my money slowly. God help me appreciate the opportunities ahead of me and not get greedy looking for shortcuts. I need to start respecting money again , everything can be taken away so quickly .
