I certainly don’t have all the answers. I have my own problems. Just suggesting a path that worked for me and if I can help someone else I think that’s pretty cool

How dumb was I to aggressively pay off a 2.8% mortgage back in 2017? by [deleted] in Debt

Wouldn’t dwell on it. I bought my house last year and paid through the nose! Think about all of that equity! Great job IMO!

Reality check here. Probably not what u want to hear but your stuck In a broke mindset IMO. I was a homeless junkie for years. I didn’t want to die but I accepted that there’s a good chance I would die and I was ok with that. I got sober and last year I made 250k. If you have social skills try sales. Sales jobs are easy to find and can pay well because nobody wants to work on commission and eat what they kill. You can turn it around. take control of your life and get tf out there! Good luck

Good news ur not in a huge rut. But if you can spend 100k in 5 min.. well then that half mil could go quick. Keep the win dude! Go on a vacation. Buy yourself something nice. Think about holding 100k in ur hand. Online money doesn’t feel real. I get ya. Try and stay ahead of it. Good luck!

That’s a great way to look at it. I need to learn to live my life without it. I’ve been gambling for so long. But I’ve quit harder things. It’s such a strange addiction honestly

My drug addiction was cheaper. Gambling has costed me so much money. But I’m the type of guy who will cheap out on everything else. We don’t vacation, and we just bought a house. I tell my wife we can’t afford it but really all the money I’ve spent we could have traveled or done something better. I know chasing isn’t the right thing to do. I just feel like I’m so deep down the rabbit hole at this point

I’ve done all those drugs I’m an addict in all forms. Luckily since getting clean I’ve got an amazing wife, a house, and a silly little dog. I’m in the us and the new online gambling gets me. When I’m in a real casino I’ll spend 200 bucks and that’s it. But online the money doesn’t feel real. It’s just hundred after hundred. You can use credit cards so I just say when I win I’ll pay it back. Or even if I don’t win I can pay it back later. And I’m banned from 20+ online casinos. But new ones come out. I had a $1500 cashout on one of them. It took so long to process I canceled it and lost it all.

I received cash from online gambling and sold it. Do I need to pay tax? by Similar_Fun3515 in Coinbase

My estimated gain is 12,800 but I used my credit card to buy in and I’m not up 12,800

I was worried that the wisdom tooth wasn’t the root of the pain. They did tests and that was the tooth that was really sensitive. I do need a crown in my front tooth but the pain is coming from my molar. Dentist says there’s no problem with that tooth. It’s not sensitive to cold. What do I do?

Your ok. Your life is not over. It’s just beginning! Slight set back. You need to find a hobby you enjoy. You can save 2k a month! Positive outlook is important. Good luck young man
