What's the point if youre already old?Just turned 31 and still only able to get min wage jobs after 20+ years of education My 20s were wasted by moving goalposts and a terrible economy and sneedvidAnd it's too late to build enough compounding interest to retire in a reasonable timeframe Getting into a relationship let alone having a good family is out of the question What's the point if you're not born rich and can retire in your 20s?

I thought this but then I realized I don't want to be still alive at 60 and poor as fuck so I'll keep waging and putting my money into The Next big thing.My biggest problem is that in the last 18 months, I've missed the opportunity to turn 15k into 250k on 5 separate occassions. I could have made 1-4 million dollars, hypothetically. But something in me psychologically is afraid of losing the 15k.
>>62258560>What's the pointdoesn't matter as long as you enjoy it
>>62258586What were these opportunities?
>>62258624I know that this is /biz/ and people are absolutely dedicated to being baggies and holding dead coins from 10 years ago but there was a lot of shit that popped off in 2023 and 2024 and 2025 and 2026 that I grazed with my hands without fully committing such as but not limited to-Avax in 2023 pumped from 10 bucks to 50 bucks by eoy-DJT stock, which pumped from 10 bucks to 56 bucks right before the 'lectin-Western Digital which hit a low of 25 dollars during the 'trump dump' last year and is now close to 500 for a 20x-Zcash, which popped from 30 bucks to 700 bucks over 4 months last year (/biz/, of course, fudded this one relentlessly).-Leveraged Gold Minors, barely even legaland just recently Quantum D-wave stock which popped the fuck off, and AXTI stock.There's a lot of shit you hear in passing, then you check back 2 months later and it's like "yeah, the government invested in it so it did a crazy 5x in 3 weeks".If I had just followed through with putting 10-15k in I could have 5xed and then 10xed and 20xed. Hypothetically.
>>62258560>its everyone else's fault!/thread
>>62258723Please do explain how it isn't everyone else's fault that the economy is so shit rn
>>62258666Get thee behind me satanCoulda shoulda. There is a ton of shit happening everywhere all of the time. Imagine the type of stuff you could pull off by using the energy you use to worry about missing your opportunities to actually focus on the ones right infront of you right now. There is a 23 year old thinking "it's so over". Fuck captcasThere is a 41 year old wishing he was where you are. WAGMI
>>62258560By that logic, what's the point if you've already won the game?You seem like you'd also be miserable if you had all those things, for then you'd be seen as a walking ATM. You'd miss having challenges and wanting things out of reach again.Worshipping money is gay and Jewish and people who see it as an end all be all for fixing all their problems will piss it all away in an instant. The ones who are rich and don't worship money tend to be even worse because they worship whatever has warped them, like all those friends of Epstein. What does money buy anymore? Luxury is all slop. Cars are plastic and dystopian. Everything is a hustle. Little kids can't even buy Pokemon cards anymore because grown adults are hoarding them.The economy is entirely hollow. Civilization is collapsing and the masses are being slowly tortured, poisoned, and turned into byproducts of heinous algorithms.What then does having money do other than let you flex like an Indian wearing lots of gold or let you become a weird pervert?
>>62258666yea and there are 10000 other coins that went to 0. you tend to forget about those but your subconcious doesnt which is why u are afraid of losing
>>62258803money at the very least buys you an escape from daily wage slaving.Sure Id still be empty inside but I'd be empty while sitting comfortably at home in pajamas rather than in a stuffy dull office or in a grueling manual labor job Thing is I'd only get that escape in my 70s at this point and that's generously assuming hyperinflation isn't gonna ruin things any further
>>62258819If you carry the weight of the world around you on your back you can only expect to be crushed.I hope you can find things to enjoy in life amidst all of its bullshit. Most of my favorite things are either free or very inexpensive.For what it's worth, I met my wife when I was your age. Not saying it's a guarantee you'll find someone, but I never thought it'd happen for me and yet it did. Men who have dating problems can get stuck in a death spiral where they think they're worthless because they haven't received validation from a woman and it confuses their whole worldview and judgement. They turn to escapes - drugs, vice, porn, whatever. Those who learn that validation and praise mean absolutely nothing at the end of the day are blessed with freedom. An unconfident man who is dependent on validation will never be able to keep friends nor satisfy a woman properly.
There's 6 to 8 week programs that fast track you into datacenter jobs. Guaranteed employment with 80kminimum a year up to 120k if you don't mind living in buttfuck nowhere and being on call (for the higher pay range).
>>62259038Literally where? Ive never seen such a program before anywhere not online or IRL
>>62258560Quit bitching. I'm 32.
>>6225856031 is not old, try being 44
>>62258560We're not told anything about investing at school solely to stop us from gaining wealth. But you have the rest of your life to make gains. Just use the rest of your 31 years. Your gains will quickly out-earn any job, at least in my case it did and I started investing at your exact age.It would have been that we just had to wait for boomers to die off to break this ageism-based glass ceiling and finally be able to advance, but the system changed and only trannies will replace them. This is your own fault, your entire generation, for just suddenly going "Gays are so based and infallible, actually".
>>62259219>the rest of your 31 yearsYour next* 31 years. Was probably thinking the rest of your life.
>>62259168Stop complaining, I'm 33 years old and my net worth is less than 10k
>>62259223Based.
>>62258666Whata stopping you from throwing in 15k? The fact that you're poor. So focus on saving instead of fantasizing yourself to death
>>62259168>>62259176>>62259223young complaining queers you're already old inside, I am 40 and realistically look like 30 even younger compared to some depraved ones, you can be in you 20s feel, look, eat, smell like shit and hate life, this age shit is so retarded, for men.
>>62258764>There is a ton of shit happening everywhere all of the time.Are you stupidMy whole point was that there is shit happening all the timeWhy do /biz/tards always throw a tantrum when I point out there are plenty of 10xes and 20xes to be had and cling to your Link bags.>>62258817>yea and there are 10000 other coins that went to 0. you tend to forget about those but your subconcious doesnt which is why u are afraid of losingThe point is to not buy those, since they're usually obvious scams.>>62259289Crying redditor, I have more than you.
>>62259055>>62259038he's lying all the datacenter jobs are shit like "23/hr electrical wire ball fondler" no one is hiring you to be an electrical engineer maintaining the power grid in Ashburn, Virgina outside the cia headquarter with a "6 week program".It's insane people on 4chan continue to 'offer' such fake, worthless advice- usually they're not even trolling.
>>62259332>this age shit is so retarded, for men.Old millennial bitches and young 18yo boys push it because they think it makes it less likely some 44yo with a car and job bangs their crush/younger hotter zoomer sister.
>>62259332Are you like that old Brazilian dude that thinks he looks 17? Also I'm not young, I'm 44.
>>62259352they probably think over 35 you get in the senile zone or something, for me its same shit minus all the tranny trends, even felling less retarded for not waging and yeah the clever sisters dont wanna waste their time with some broccoli headed goofballs>>62259367yes but mostly inside, can't match his baby face
>>62259332Okay unc, I think you need your glasses, because you're replying to something I didn't say.
>>62259466>32+8=unc+glassesrelax young tran your unc time is coming sooner than you think
>>62259488I'll still only be a norwood 3 when you're a norwood 6 unc. It's already over for you.
>>62259334If you have enough that 15k isn't a big deal and you can't throw it into what appears to be a solid pick then you're a pussy and a retard. I have 100k and I have thrown 10k in on solid picks and been rewarded.
>>62259498I bet you're already more norwooded
>>62259509Good!
>>62259513i didn't know how this norwood stuff works, post hairline
