I bought stocks once in my life, panic sold the first day they went down and since then just put my money into CDs until I hit the 250k FDIC cap and start putting it in another CD.
Zero risk tolerance with money seems to be a very common thing among Germans - one of the reasons our economy sucks.
Pretty much- really sucked on this board when everyone was making bank on ETH. I don't mind seeing other people get stock gains since that's kind of within reason, but the whole crypto thing seemed so retarded and the gains were astronomical.

The Buy High Sell Low strategy isn’t for everyone Tommy. There’s a measure of risk tolerance involved here. If you can’t take the heat then get the FUCK out the kitchen m8.

You need to right your ship, drink so heavily you die within the next ten years or get back to wagecucking. You spend too much money for your paltry nest egg, then you make retarded investment decisions. If you have anything approaching a normal lifespan, then you are going to run out of money. I have no idea what the fuck you would do then-- come back to the USA and get on disability/section 8? lmao

Okay pal, if you think you can set down roots and live off your nest egg for the rest of your life, then you need to do so now. You've been chipping away at your net worth during a historic bull market. If the market is flat or bear, you are dead as fuck HTH

Even assuming you really can keep spending down to 35k a year, you're already pretty close to not having enough to safely draw 35k a year for the rest of your life. And that's before factoring in that you will make more retarded option plays.

At least you followed my GIS trade right at the lows. You should be up over 20% on the $2k or whatever it was that you bought, not even counting any ex dividend dates

Eh, shit happens. You really should just put it into safe but boring shit and stop chasing money you won't even spend. I mean, you don't strike me as someone who would suddenly have twice as much shit to buy or twice as expensive shit to buy if your net worth hits $2 million. So why bother risking your actual life on chasing the increase?
Yes that was my plan I had 1.4m and almost all was in safe bond ETFs and then i niggered myself... I wld like to get to 1.5 and then 1.75m wld be ideal and furk it then

I was patting you on the back when you went safe. Again: what will you change about your life at 1.5 or 1.75 million? If nothing beyond bragging rights, fuck right off with that shit and go back to being smart
In a way, you traded the "one more year of work" mentality for "just another hundred k" mentality. Get over it, motherfucker

We all know this is bullshit. The truth is you don't want to be tied down and feel like you're obligated to do shit on other people's schedule, with a smattering of wanting to keep us begging
If you just narrated it like an xo post, you'd blow up

If I weren't wagecucking still, I'd figure out how to set up an LLM to narrate in a hyper Indian voice. Might do that once I settle into my new gig (just took a new one)

I can't believe Mainlining or someone else who has the knowledge and capacity won't help with this. It would be the best content this board has seen since your sailboat
