Just gotta get through this week

Bro your real life was supposed to be your life up until now, with kids and a real big boy career being the end of it. How retarded are you?

I turn 34 in two days, suicide is probably the best option, everything has gone to complete shit.

mid 30's no job or education, made 500k€, now 470k€
I could be rich and live on dividends, but pussied during the begining on the cycle, and as it went up it felt like it was going to crash at any moment

so now i dont know wtf to doo because the 4 year cycle supposedly makes the market crash but it may just keep pumping until i go all in and it crashes then ikms

I was so fucking close to making it this year. This was supposed to be my cycle. I did everything right. DCAed from 2022 onwards to scoop up cheapies in the bear. I still think it’s possible that 2026 is my year

>>61301625
I live in 3rd world country jungle Asian, I lost 5000$ on crypto on 2020. I am 28 years old now. Just got my "real" work at 27. Trying to get back from 0. Planning to just DCA btc, but its too expensive, planning to but dot since its the lowest from opening, or maybe avax/trx/sol since it's still affordable for my salary.

Doing better than expected. Bought an apartment with last runs gains as down payment, got married and had a son. Thought I was going to go crazy in 2023 waging but it has gradually gotten better, got more promotions the less I cared about work. This run I hope to cash out enough to pay off the mortgage and buy a fast car.
Thank god for remote work otherwise I would have snapped a long time ago

There are no good tv shows, movies, or video games anymore. I just get high work drink and shitpost

Well, some things are good, some things aren't. I finally moved out of my parents house, bought a place in a little town in the mountains, a little town with only 300 people. Set up my starlink and here we are. Nature is amazing, there is a river, I take daily walks, lit a fire and cook some meat...

There are no young women so I guess in that aspect it's pretty much over, but when I lived in the city, it was also hopeless. I was really optimistic about my crypto portfolio in 2025 and well, it has been a disappointment, but my portfolio is 70% btc, so it's not so bad.

yup. I wonder why this feeling is so common. even 4chan hasnt had any new memes since then. last big memes came out around 2018, think that was gigachad/basedjack and its been nothing but recicled shit since

I have 18 bitcoins. Waiting for 160k so I can sell 3 and put the funds in a low risk ETF and not check the charts so much. I believe in 500k bitcoin but the wait is painful.

>>61301625
I started working in 2008 in a dead economy. I was 14, no experience, no connections, and had to apply in-person to >150 places to get a 20h/week part-time job. It was awful. 2025 is far worse. At least in 08 when people got rekt, the crash was organic and created a lot of opportunities for ordinary people - cheap housing, land, stocks, cars, zero/near-zero interest rates, etc. What's more, there was still a pressing demand for human capital.

This time around, commoners have taken the full brunt of the economy's malfunctions with zero reward. The demand for human capital is collapsing in real-time, only to the benefit of owners and stakeholders of the current zeitgeist. The race to the bottom used to involve murdering an American town to enslave a Bangladeshi ghetto but we've sank much lower into the abyss.

The economy has already been a zombie for 17 years but now it's an ouroboros too. Corporate slaughtered small business and regulated competition out of existence and now it's collectively sacrificing its own consumer base and the primary source of its demand. They're all contributing, proudly and aggressively, to the death of their need, bit-by-bit, with this faulty sense of logic that their each novel, innovative anomalies, but they're all doing it, and they must to compete as a publicly traded company who'd sacrifice their employee's grandchildren for a good Q4. The old discarded consumer base will increasingly become a nuisance and a threat. Their civil unrest will be bad for business, which is increasingly becoming a national security interest subsidized by welfare, and thus bad for the government too.

They'll probably try to kill as many of us as inhumanly possible by any means necessary. They'll also probably start trying to kill each other as power consolidates and the lines between business and government disappear. If we survive, we may get to see the McKingdom Wars play out too. The world we knew is dead. Do what you can to stay alive!

I'm 34 now, I don't have the will to wageslave for 50 years. Based on how bad this year has been, the crypto thing probably isn't going to work out. I've found myself making riskier and riskier decisions, I barely care about the future anymore, and I don't even want to be around for it. I can't handle aging or the passage of time. I wish I could rewind just 5 years, and everything could have been different. I am on track to eventually run out of money, and then I'll have to call it a night.

In my 30's as well. I don't have the will to wageslave for 50 years either. This year was going well at first. I was doing well on the stock market, well until recently. To make it even harder, the market seems to be peaking which only worsened the fact my risk taking was also increasing. I ran the numbers a while back and although my gains were impressive, the numbers showed that it would take like a decade of consistent success. That's way too long of a time frame to maintain consistent success. At the lower risk taking amount, one year of constant dumping would destroy maybe 30% of my portfolio before I'd check out and wait for the uptrend to resume. So I I ran more numbers and basically to have a reasonable time frame of making it, I have to increase my risk substanially. Well soon after the market decided to dump pretty hard while I was holding. Time is racing down to my inevitable acceptance of being a wageslave for life. Once that fate is accepted, I do not see myself returning to trading. I will not suicide though. Please don't kill yourself friend, pick up the Holy Bible instead.

Worst year ever. About to turn 40, feel like I wasted my life. Putting parents in the home has been awful. Hurt my back and now my feet go numb when I sit. Fucked my knee up 2 months ago and now hurts to walk, physio thinks it's arthritis. Got gastritis. Essentially friendless as all my peers have families and are miserable. Haven't had sex in 8 years.
Despite losing 400k to laziness I at least got 3.5m. Think its time to say goodbye to my life, hit the road and try to find a wife in a new country. I dont know what's going on but everyone I know in Calgary has more money than they know what to do with, and are miserable.
Question is where to go to build a new better life. Where can you survive off 3.5m USD where people are happy and fit?

31. Just coasting at my WFH job I’ve had for the past 2.5 years. Giving up on a family and a home made me realise I can easily retire before 40 so I’m aiming for that.
I’ve also got a side business that’s generating 20K a year. It’s sort of insane but I can already indefinitely cover my cost of living so long as I make 2% real returns from investments. I’d quit but I don’t hate work enough to make the jump yet. Maybe in 2 years depending on market conditions and if the side business continues to make money.

I’d trade it all for a little more

I think the problem is the place and money, not the age. Last happiness survey the biggest drop off were the youth from Canada, US, Ireland Switzerland. Biggest winners were Serbia, Kuwait, Isreal.
Its like we have so much prosperity we have nothing to do but doomscroll all day.
I had a diverse group of friends but they are not all doing well despite everyone being millionaires or st least 150k households. Either drugs or ornery bastards or both.
That said I have heard its the worse time as you deal with both toddlers and aging parents, so who knows.

>>61304793
Get married with a woman you love and have kids. The stress of parenthood also immediately vanishes with as much money as you have, you just enjoy the good parts.

I’m 31 and I’ve been depressed af lately. Not sure if it’s because I’m on fin or the change in seasons. Incidentally, I make six figures and live in nyc but don’t save any money outside of my 401k and Roth, which I’m putting all into extremely risky stocks and will likely squander away. At this point I’m aware that I’m going to wage for the next three decades. All I want is a gf who will eventually become my wife and give me children. I want a family to come back home to. Life just feels empty and unfulfilling without those. This has been a shitty year for the most part. Hopefully next year is better.

I get not being brave enough to invest in stocks/crypto before 2021 but how do you not have a high paying job at this point? How could you stupid enough to stay in some low-tier shit wage job for over ten years? I’ve been on 4chan since 2008 so this place isn’t an excuse. I’ve made my share of big mistakes and only worked hard like 50% of the time, took it lazy the other 50% but it was still enough.

I dunno, reading all the depressed self-pity posts here makes me realise that a lot of men simply have shit genes and are simply too stupid and not observable enough to make it. And no, having a /pol/-ideology 10 years after it was a new fresh thing to do doesn’t make you keem eyed. It just means you are stupid if you’re stupid enough to think that.

I have a pretty decent job, and could have great upwards mobility
Adding consistently to investments, have a 401k nest egg building, decent gains, etc
But I feel so miserable, I hate working so much
I'm from a state school and working a job that I know Harvard graduates have applied for and haven't gotten, most people would appreciate being in my position. But I just hate it, I just want to do fucking nothing
I could grind and be making easily $150k in a year or two, and if I stuck with it maybe $220k, but I just don't know if I can. I feel like if I plan to do that for 5-8 years and then retire, I never will, I just feel so purposeless. I cannot stand waking up and spending the majority of my day at work

Why would 40 be a bad time to start a family?

>>61301625
I think I landed in biz 2019
In that time I got married
Turned 80k to 300k(could have been 1.2m if I bought btc)
Found friends I actually enjoy being with
Reconciled somewhat with my family
Starting a new career I am passionate about (pay is average)

Coincidentally that is also the same time I started therapy and I believe that has had a huge effect.
I would recommend to anyone if they can afford it. I went weekly and looking back I didn’t see real changes til 2 years in.
Year 5 is when it got really good
Group therapy is good if you can handle it as it’s cheaper

I think I see life through the lens of getting slightly better like 1% improvement every month
I’m kinda retarded so that’s more my speed.
But I feel stable in this foundation I’ve been given over these years so I think it’s mostly uphill from here.
I do wish you all the best, I’m like most people that browse here and only post like once every 3 years while visiting every couple days when the market is moving.

You'll be 60 when they are about 18, you'll be in a home at 80 when they are about 40. Don't have kids unless you have top tier soldiers shooting out, by 40 your guys become a risk every year making your kids retarded or autistic Chris Chan kids.

>supposed to

Yeah... supposed to! Meanwhile my life:

1-19
Crazy childhood trauma (especially family) and undiagnosed ADS fucked up my school grades (teachers and parents thought i'm stupid instead)

20-26
Started working, embraced the start of my PC era and became a fat fuck while living like a hiki avoiding people

26-28
Changed job because something felt off inside me, started hitting the gym and lost 40lbs in 3 months, basicall became a gym rat since then (till today) while basically having no social life beside that

29-30)
Realized what was wrong with me, i lost all positive emotions and couldn't feel happiness anymore (till to this day), ignored it and just kept my work/gym life while slowly rotting emotionally from the inside

31-32)
Panic attacks started about once a month, soon once a week and eventually every second day, where my whole body randomly collapsed into a fetus position while getting cramps all over me, hyperventilating and overflood by unending sadness for minutes

33)
Body couldn't take it anymore, tried to kms, survived because being a gym rat, got into the hospital and got diagnosed with extreme depression and several other heavy mental issues, brain almost didn't produced any serotonin by itself (hence no feeling of happiness)

34-now)
Living on welfare/neetbux while fighting for my disability pension, unable to work ever again, set on heavy medication to not kms while feeling absolutely nothing like a zombie (which is still better than only feeling pain tho)

The moral of the story? Life "should" be great, but for a lot of us is isn't and it never was an option to begin with because we got born into absolute dogshit conditions, surrounded by dogshit people and being indoctrinated by bs. Gz to all of you who had a "youth", at least noone can take that away from you anymore. I wish all you guys the best!

I have significant family wealth and even I want to kms, the future is bleak. I want a family but may never find a wife.

Wealth disparity will accelerate via AI/Robotics as mass layoffs, wage freezes hit but asset prices soar, pricing out 80% of the population.

>>61308611

hang in there anon, have you tried hate? it helped me in the past.

I love aging because with each day the gap widens. The winners and losers get more and more seperated with age.
A rich and retired young person mogs 95% of all men.

Only the top 10% are doing well.
I expect 90% of the posters itt to not be doing well.

I don't have any faith in the future. My goal is to buy a few acres and live in a trailer and read. I indulge in the idea of impending societal catastrophe because at least there would be some "momentum" in my life.

If I had a wife and kids and we both had to desperately cling to our corporate jobs to pay off a mortgage and we had to leave our small children in daycare all day, I genuinely think I would kill myself. That's the scenario I envision when I think about having a family. That's what everyone I know has to do to get by.

>Your 20s are supposed to be the best part of your life.
but this is a total lie, its only true if you were born in the upper classes or born at least 50 years ago

for people born later and not in opulence you have two choices in your 20s work your ass off so you have a chance of living something remotely acceptable to human standards for ages 30-85
or say fuck that and go be a barman at some resort and have some nice 20s at the cost of everything from 30-85
objectively choice number 2 is retarded

I'm pressured hard by everyone to find a woman but I'm too fucking lazy and cheap. I'm saving so much money living like a monk and a woman will just drain me.
I started investing only a few months ago, before that I just sat on a high interest savings account. I'm down a bit but I invested for the long term, at least that's how I cope.
Started taking fin/min and gained back most of my hair, I'm one of the few lucky hyper responders I guess.

35. Just about to leave a retardedly easy (and useless) WFH job for a much more challenging WFH job that actually moves my career forward.
My son will hear back from the colleges he applied to in the next 2 months. I was able to save up $330k for him to pay for any college needs and he can use the rest on a down payment for a house when he’s ready. Now I can start to have some nice things for myself.

Feel this. I 'made it', I have $5M after tax because I got lucky with last Q4 meme mania. But my dad just got diagnosed with early stage parkinsons this summer and my mom had a small heart attack last christmas. My sister lives on the other side of the country so I'm going to be the one to micromanage their care as they keep on deteriorating. Maybe I have 5 more years of relatively carefree life left (37 currently) but then I'll be faced with the dilemma of either becoming their fulltime carer or wasting my fortune to pay other people to manage them. My money or my life, basically. I just want this doom cloud to go away but the only way it goes away is if my parents die abruptly, which makes me an evil cunt to want it to happen. I find myself fantasizing about what if they died instantly in a car crash when I was in college, and how nice that would be. Like I don't hate them, I love them. And yet. It's fucked up.

I'm a boomer in my mid 30s with a couple million dollars to my name but I'm at a crossroads. Do I continue to enjoy not working while I pursue my hobbies and travel the world? Or should I bring my SEA gf to America and marry her so we can start a family? If I choose the second options, there's the possibility of me having to go back to work since healthcare is expensive as fuck.

Lost my longterm comfy but fatally burned out WFH job last year, never have saved much, 35, really never feel like I spend money on anything, though, so I don't know where the money goes. I don't buy expensive things. Some drugs, well an eight ball of coke or K every other month, nothing insane and I've cut it out recently and quit coke completely a year back, cuz I also don't drink and save money w no DoorDash and mostly eating at home. I never have ended up with any money left over from living a normal, modest life of a white college educated American anon.

Raising a kid is physically demanding, and you get tired more easily starting around the age of 50, when your kid will still be very young and dependent.
Plus you simply won't have as much time with them as you otherwise would.
A friend of mine had kids when he and his wife were both 20, and they're now in their 40s and their kid are fully grown adults. It's worked out very well for them.

28 on December 4th. I'm feeling like I'm in deep. I never had any money to invest I've always had to spend months applying to jobs to get horrible jobs that last a couple months. (last one lasted 8 months, garnished my wages illegally because of a driving accident that they refused to pay the copay on, and ended after I was bit by a grown ass man until I bled) I moved to Ohio to start over, but even after telling my roommate about it in advance and getting reassured it'll be workable, he took one look at my resume and had nothing to really say but "this is unemployable." So...the intrusive thoughts are rapidly winning out and I'm going to the government to see if there's ANYTHING that I can do to make this...not awful.

If this falls through with roomie, I'm living in my car, for the sixth time, during winter in the north, with nobody and nothing left to keep me from dying of hypothermia

You have bday on the same day as me anon. You're also a based Tomoko fan. I bet you're a cool guy to chill with! Somehow life always manages to fuck up the wrong people. I mean at some point there must be a bottom in the barrel, right? Sending some virtual hugs to all my struggling bros out there because ultimately noone gives a fuck about men... besides other men struggling lol.

Just don’t get insurance you pussy. Unless you’re into being a cuck and subsidizing the fat fucks who neglect their health

No.

I'm a very healthy person but there's always the tiny chance that I'll get blasted by ass cancer or something. And childbirth can get expensive if there are any complications. My plan was to game the system for Medicaid or ACA subsidies but now we see how quickly that's getting shut down.

28 yo eastern euro here, I had $500k+ unrealized profit end of last year, thought I would only triple it in 'le alt season' and make it, then at the start of the year I got raped after tariffs, deepseek and who knows what other fucking black swans I can't even remember anymore, also lost 100k+ on taxes and was left with roughly $20k at one point. Had a few homeruns where I made a comeback, but this year was a rape rollercoaster. Now I have around $50k combined nw (I had like 30k more 2 weeks ago) and I honestly don't know if I can climb out ever again. I could have turned my whole gay chud life around if I sold in december. But you know how god complex works. Also I'm a kissless virgin. It's for the best tho, I have autism running in the senpai. At least I have an okay paid wfh job where I do fuck all

Also this thread was posted by xitter troons and that's where I came from

Just turned 30, wtf am I in for?

anybody notice how the demoralization threads on /biz/ and /pol/ are in overdrive. so many depressed young and middle aged men. btw: all demoralizing threads are made by glowies who think that they can shame and guilt men into serving the system which hates them. this does not include any real anon expressing his frustrations, the frustration is real and so is the oppression but my point is that this is a general, board-wide, western-wide problem. it's not just here, there are tens of millions of unemployed and hopeless men out there and they need to start connecting and connecting the dots. the boot is on our neck, almost everybody's neck.

>>61313847
bit of dread starts to set in. dick doesn't work as well as it did in 20's. need to be taking care of yourself or you'll start to feel it.
on the plus side I care much much less what people think of me and trying new things isn't intimidating.

I quit my job and developed a porn addiction that has rekt my crypto stack, I’m still fine money wise with my safe stock holding but if I don’t get a grip I’ll seriously fuck my life up. I quit 6 months ago, planning to get back into the job market after holidays.

Turning 29 in two weeks

Managed to build a portfolio of 150k. If I just leave it in VOO and keep contributing 1400 a month to it I can hit 2.3 million by the time I get my pension at 47 however another part of me just wants to YOLO it all into bitcoin during the next halvening. I already feel like shit for selling my gold stocks last year before the massive pump so I'll probably end up doing the later half just to compensate for it.

just turned 38, link baggy since ico. i had 2.8 million dollars and a gf i was getting ready to mary. bag held got dumped and now back to being a loser

>>61315612
This is true. I lived in Japan for years during my 20s, crazy sex, parties, dates everyday, everyday was a epic. Now it feels like nothing is worth it.

>>61301625
>how are you holding up?
i'm not

>>61315612
>>61315843
This sounds like me. I spent my 20s in Asia partying and rawdogging random sluts. Now I'm back in the states in a wagie job and I legit feel like killing myself.

Turned 30 this year. Have my shit together physically and financially but it’s been a tough year mentally. Still have hopes to start a family. I live in a big city and can land dates but mostly through apps which fucking suck these days. Spend three or four nights a week training jiu jitsu so that helps take my mind off things and socialize. Highly recommend to those interested.

>>61301625
30yo here… 31 next month FUCK. My Portfolio went to 580k€ ATH, I then sold everything all at once when it went sub 300k€. It’s sucks badly, I was seriously expecting a much higher ath for Ethereum. I thought this would be the cycle to retire on. I only need 850k to stop waging where I live. It felt so close and now it feels unreachable (my wage is dogshit btw and I live like a fucking looser, no car, tiny flat, no latest tech)

>>61316196
I'm doing calisthenics right now, but i used to do MMA & K1. Martial Arts are a game changer, pihysically and mentally.

This IS your life, bub. It won't start only if you 'make it'. Nobody is going to come save you, not money or some kind stranger. Life is what happens in-between the the plans so all you can do is get up and make something of it, or die.

Same age as you, and I had a similar experience at 28. keep going anon. Live life well and keep striving towards your goals.

37, will be 38 in February. Past 10 years were a flash. Extremely concerning

>>61301625
I'm cashing out some and going full time on my small business. Done with waging and Sergey is taking forever

>>61304828
Worst advice ever. Stay single if you can

You want a brand new hustle? Go buy a headset and learn how to scam people out of their savings by calling them pretending to be from the bank. It's literally a epidemic of young black people right now copying the indian hustles. Check out the Instagram pages like @burgermarty to see plenty of examples.

>>61301809
bro’s gonna ignore XMN now and larp as an OG later, guaranteed.

>>61317419
what kinda business is that

ngl. too many old people on biz and 4chan

About to turn 29. Everything is objectively good except I have no gf and no kids.

At this point I’m getting desperate. I’ve been chatting up an old flame who is engaged to someone else. She’s almost but not fully white, and is vaxxed.
Idk bros I think I’m gonna fuck around and try to get her pregnant anyway. Even if it means I get hunted by the cuck guy, and that she’ll eventually be disloyal to me, and that my kids will maybe have spike proteins and a bit of extra “cultural flair”. There’s plenty of risk. idk man it still might be worth it to have a kid.
What do?

>>61303286
That wont happen till mid 2026. By then people will already be fucked. You really think they could get this 2k stimmy out with any sense or urgency?

>>61301625
I finally sold some of my stack and bought my dream house and paid cash, so my year has been going pretty well despite technically losing a bunch of net worth. I am ready to move on from crypto and pursue other things in life. Waiting for something that will never happen has been a huge waste of my life.

>>61318617
I’ll be honest that sounds like a terrible idea honestly. You still have plenty of time to put yourself out there. You’re at that age where you’ve got nothing to lose but that doesn’t mean you’re desperate.

>>61302720
Yeah that ain't going to happen. The stock market will crash, revenues will plummet, and they will humbly crawl back begging for money like they always do. Corporations aren't invincible.

>>61302972
The difference between 29 and 34 isn't that significant. Get your shit together now and you will be in a good place before you turn 40.

>>61318967
Thanks for being real anon. I’ve had loved ones die recently so I’m feeling a bit irrational.
But honestly I don’t feel any closer to having kids than I was 4 years ago.
I can get women tho, I’m not unattractive. But I’m not getting younger.

>>61309951
>people who say the opposite dont know how hard your energy levels crash in your 30s and how hard life becomes in the cagie
If there was ever anything I'd ever go back in time to warn myself, it's this. I don't ever feel like I age, but I can really feel the dropped energy levels in my mid thirties. I don't know how I can find the energy to give a darn to chase women now.
>>61310362
Only millennials I've ever seen work those types of shitty jobs had families. In the field I work in, I know only one other guy in my age range, we're both miserable and single, but at peace when not having an existential fit. I really think 30s to 40s guys are just fried big time if they aren't in the "middle class" income bracket. Not to say those that make that aren't fried, but just more hopeless. Millennials as a whole are going to be the first generation of tragic adults. Unloved men and women, no family, no future, no present, but very much was there a semblance of a happier past.

>>61301625
31. Paid off condo. Nearing $200K in retirement funds. Still driving a 20 year old car. Feel burned out honestly. I don't feel rich at all, but objectively I must be doing fairly well. No idea how other people are doing it.

>>61319105
my happy past as a 28 year old zoomer was playing shadow the hedgehog on the only tv in the home (CRT) before curling up on the couch to sleep while my room is being rented out to two potheads. It really just kept going downhill from there.

>>61319110
Is condo living worth it, its something I've wrestled with for a time. Does the hoa ever become a pain in the ass

>>61319075
Sorry to hear that man. You should channel those feelings into something productive while you’re dating. Helps you stay grounded. I said earlier, martial arts have done that for me. Get out there, you’ll be fine.

>>61319155
It all depends on your neighbors, we’ve been in a bottom floor, 3 unit condo for about 5 years and most of the time it’s been great. But recently the neighbors above us moved out and rented their condo to someone with a big dog and it’s been annoying as fuck, so now we are looking to move.
No issues with the HOA, it’s a good way to split costs for shit like dry rot repair on the building or new paint

>>61304116
>>61304269
Unless you know exactly what it is you're doing, you'll only burn a hole in your wallet.
You haven't started for the same reason you wasted your 20s and the same reason you're wasting time resenting all the time you wasted.
Self-aggression, you are the architect of your own suffering.

This year has been the toughest year yet. But has also reaped some of the biggest rewards. My wife is finally pregnant after 3 years of trying and going through IVF, we just bought a new house - currently renovating it and hopefully moving in early next year, wife started her own company late last year so has been working like crazy, I’ve also been working insanely hard this year, it’s been tough to keep it up sometimes. But my wife keeps me going.

/biz/ attracts autists who want to escape a life of waging and also some psychopaths who want a lot of power. Not people with a lot of money.

Don't really care for the opinion of emotionally repressed boomers whose lives have no thought and who can't show love without layering it with irony like a dog eating medicine wrapped in cheese

33 next week.

Hit 8 figs in 2022. 60% wiped overnight during Luna crash. Sold 3M, cleared around 2M after tax. 1M left over to make it all back. Quit my job. Stress of 'losing' so much money made me mentally unstable.

Totally fucked this cycle chasing shitcoins, which worked for me previously and hit a couple 1000x on memes. Sitting on less than 500k now. Could have just bought btc and made it all back instead.

Don't know what to do now. Still have too much money to bother working for now, not enough to last forever. Still a decent amount left in crypto but mostly in shitcoins which will inevitably go to $0. Mind is absolutely fried. Life has been a standstill for 3.5 years. Depression has been awful.
