man man man. not too sure what happened this year, shit just feels like a blur tbh.

    2021 – 2022 i worked really hard to climb out of debt from gambling addiction. it wasn’t much at the time, around 20k or so in various loans and cc debt from gambling. i slipped up a few times in 22, but it was nothing major and i stopped myself before making any big losses.

    fast forward fall of last year, i finally have money in my savings account for the first time in my life-20k or so. i was investing half of that into tech stocks for a couple months and was making some nice, chill gains. well, that shit was so fucking boring seeing +$50 a day or some shit like that.. i needed that thrill and excitement back in my life and this wasn’t cutting it. that’s when i moved back into 0dte options and that leads us to where we are today.

    idk what it is, but something about 0dte’s and watching your money move up and down so drastically is some different shit. i pretty much payed my bills and lived pretty frugally and threw everything else into options ever since and continuously losing and blowing any gains i get. i find myself always fantasizing living some lavish life and how i could get that life from the next trade if i can get a 10 bagger. that’s when i lose it all and idk, it stopped feeling like anything after a while and if anything, it was kind of relieving and satisfying in a way.

    so here i am, currently in ~60k of debt, stuck in this cycle of continuously trading any money i get.

    much love guys. just felt like sharing tbh and hopefully you guys don’t follow my path! much love.

    1. Real talk, but if you have a gambling addiction you should not be touching options with a 10 ft pole. And you should seek help and probably get a broker/financial advisor that will help check your impulse control issues.

      At least you were losing the bank’s money. Now I suggest you move into a van down by the river the next few years so that the bank cant find you.

      Look at this regard, giving up when it gets tough. We all know the best WSB strategy is to double down, take out a loan and get a lambo. See you again tomorrow morning at casino’s open. In the meantime, put the fries in the bag bro. ![img](emote|t5_2th52|31224)![img](emote|t5_2th52|52627)

      Up and down so drastically? Dog, i see like two big ups. 🙁 You do have my condolences as a gambling addict, but man 0dtes are like the lotto tickets of trading, you really know how to pick em.

      I rolled through Wendy’s and their system was down so they said they can’t sell saucy nugs. They wouldn’t take *cash* in exchange for their *perishable goods* and had staff *being paid* to tell me that*.* I had to eat at *Taco Bell.* Bearish on WEN, bullish on YUM.

    5. Don’t do it to yourself. Love yourself a bit and leave trading and gambling aside.

      Can you explain the debt? It’s not all margin, were there loans? Or is the debt unrelated to the losses?

      My fucking heart sank seeing these shit. I am sorry OP. My port is also similar to yours. 😭🤡

      Get help dude. Your daydreams are too expensive. At this rate, even if you hit and get those magical 10 baggers, you won’t stop. You won’t stop, and you won’t suddenly be conscious of position sizing, or withdraw your gains. I’m not saying this won’t end well. I’m saying this won’t end.

    9. You will not be an official employee of Wendy‘s when you work behind the dumpster. But your hourly rate might be much higher than with a manager position if you are good and willing to go the extra mile.

      yeah… i kind of get where you’re coming from. last week i had close to 80 put options i bought over the weekend. i woke up and my account was basically + 30k in one day. I said fuck it and sold and decided to go back to my normal 2-4 contract. Prior to that positive day i was down maybe 12k on options in a month. I would buy weeklies and they would just go to death. Right now im making normal gains but it just doesnt feel the same as that 30k day ahahah.

      Which location you applying to? I need a job now. I will clean dumper and other dumper activity.

    12. These types of posts are so commonplace here now that nothing seems surprising anymore. Even 7 figure blowups aren’t shocking. I still look forward to seeing someone blow a 8+ figure account but usually people who made it that far have implemented proper risk management lol

    13. DaRealElonMusk on

      please get serious help dude. Doesnt even look like you had any big wins just straight line down

    14. Really sorry to see this mate. I hope you get some help with your problem. Try to pick yourself up and know that it’s just numbers on a screen, but when you have some numbers back please just go full boglehead

    15. Respect to you. I’ve seen 3-4 posts today of poor people losing $1000 or so. This is real good stuff. 🫡

    16. What we see on Reddit isn’t reality. These guys that YOLO their savings into a trade or two that pays off is less than 1%. With all do respect you have a gambling addiction. We can have that lavish lifestyle someday it might not just be right away. Do the boring stuff. Invest overtime. Pay your shit off. People have no delayed gratification these days because what they read and see from somebody else online. I wish you the best my man.

      It goes straight down? Hope your phone got a little hot so it at least felt like you were burning real greenbacks

    18. The more I’m on this sub it makes me feel better about my -10% loss on some trades

    19. Whenever I’m feeling down, I can always come to wsb, and know I’ve never f’d up my life like this.

    20. idkwhatimbrewin on

      Dude seriously get some help. There’s no way you are getting out of this. If you ever get lucky enough to make it back you are definitely going to end up blowing it all away again

      😩it sucks losing $$$$ you worked so hard for! Perhaps invest in ETFs and quality stocks! Think long term!
