== About Unknown ==
"I'm good at earning but unfortunately I evidently have little common sense..."

"Title. Don't really want to go into details, but the money is gone. I only have $180k left to my name total and I don't know what to do with myself honestly. That was a huge piece of my networth and it's just gone and there's nothing I can do to get it back. Feeling absolute despair.

What should one do in this situation even? I don't even know. The money is totally gone now."

"In the US it's really not much even if in other nations it seems like a lot. Unfortunately to be financially free here it takes $10mil+ accumulated net of taxes if you hope to escape wageslaving."

"I feel like I should just put a ... bullet in my head and give my money to someone more responsible."

"I should count my blessings honestly. But I feel so poor compared to others in the space, which is part of what led me to getting scammed. I just need to rethink a lot of things..."
