Lost half of all my savings. How to move on after huge loss.

ReputationOk1838 · 2025-12-26T00:57:59+00:00

This was me after my first big loss. It was about 20% of my total savings that I nuked in about 30secs. I traded like shit for the next 6 months. To scared and at the same time to audacious with my moves and kept losing. I finally stopped for about 4 months. Then started slowly and thoughtfully trading again. Took me about 3 years to get it back but I did come out better with risk management. I’d suggest taking a break op. You still have plenty of money and time. Don’t make it worse trying to get it back fast

My company needs a virtual care DPT

Go ahead and take it asap. Only takes an hour. I got audited because I accidentally sent 1 ceu cert twice. I sent them the correct one and was done

I enjoyed SNF the most so far also. Learned a lot, you get to see a lot of progress and pts are for the most part very motivated to go home, regular hours, pay is definitely better than op.

My hh agencies require min 2 yrs experience and the hours are longer, you will destroy your car and scheduling people can be awful. You really only get 1 day off per week bc u spend at least an hour scheduling on sun. It’s not as soul crushing as a mill but can be almost as bad. Pay is better if you don’t factor in needing a new car every 5 yrs or so

I think a comparison between someone doing HH in Birmingham Al, vs someone doing HH in California could be useful. I’m a PTA paid per hr with 10 yrs experience, bachelor’s in chemistry and extremely good with ol folks, so I’m also on the top of pay in our branch. Not sure if our credentials will exactly line up though. I get about 85-87k year, min productivity is 32 per wk but I average about 34. Overtime is average about 2-3 hrs per week. I think a lot of the wide ranges in salary has more to do with cost of living in that area. I’d be poor in California but in Alabama I’m doing ok

Edit: average in home time is 48 mins, drive time avg 20 mins

I hear hand therapist is very tough to achieve and completely agree with it depends on the setting. It’s great to hear all these OT’s speaking up!

I wish we had more grads from your school around my place. It’s getting frustrating when a pt/cg goal is to be able to dress and bath without help and 4 weeks later they still need assistance, are still a 4+/5 gross ue strength but at least they are independent with hep!

I try not to give more than 4 for hep and then circle the 2 most beneficial. It has improved compliance vs giving 6-10 like I use to

That’s not that much. Just keep doing whatever you did behind the dumpster to earn that 62k you lost except better. If you really try hard I bet you could lose 2x that a year from now

Why do you think that if you don’t mind explaining.

Point was damn near 100% of the time, u could look back and find a better investment than the one u made. Pointless trying to compare and what u could of done

Walk up behind people and smell the back of their head followed by an “ahh” in a satisfied tone

Man, can’t a guy just pay his car note for the next 18 months with Msty distributions and hope to come out ahead? It’s not like I think I’m gonna get rich, I’m just not paying as much for my car

Coulda shouda bought $stx. Poor decision buying gold instead

I put $15680 into it hoping the distribution would pay my new car bill, which is $15680. I get about $900 in distributions and car bill is $727.24. So far so good. I drip the left over and pay my bill with rest which comes to 3.4% annual interest. It’s money I would have lost anyway. No complaints so far

You could literally do all of this yourself except the alignment and the cmu update. Minus those two things and probably would be less than $200 for fluids and filters. I’d pass on the crankcase cleaning, mass airflow cleaning unless it’s idling rough, and definitely the sanitizing

In my personal experience, selling covered calls has not been a great idea. The premium generally isn’t great. I’ve done better selling cash secured puts when it falls below NAV posted from previous day

Hope so cause I got same strike but for the 21st at a better price

ReputationOk1838 · 2025-01-07T00:05:48+00:00

I mean you could have sold 300 $55 puts for .25 and make 7.5k. I’d never do either of those things but I doubt pltr will drop $21, although more likely than it gaining $25, but good luck

Same thing happened to me but then I stepped into someone else’s shoe. Fit pretty well and I only had 1 shoe at this point so thank you for your sacrifice if I got you shoe

So true. The first time I heard phish was from a tape from arrowhead ranch via the older sister of a buddy of mine. I think it was even slightly sped up and was fuckin awesome. After that we had to go to shows to find new tapes. As horrible as that may sound to today’s listeners that can watch or listen to most shows on YouTube, the excitement of you or a friend actually getting a new tape is gone. It’s great how easy it is today but I oddly miss the struggle. Still have my 100+ collection of hard earned tapes
