Stock market addiction

Me adjusting my retirement account to account for inflation after me from 5 months ago didnt. https://thefader-res.cloudinary.com/private_images/w_640,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco/DfrJkFyXcAA5b59_ytmfsj/young-thug-lil-durk-computer-meme.jpg Better safe than sorry, you never know what it will look like in the next 5.

You might be broke but you are never too broke to invest. Pretty sure you can cut out something somewhere in your life to make room for investing. Maybe Netflix, hulu or some service/food thing that you dont necessarily need. If you arent like one day away from being evicted due to delinquent payments then odds are you are making enough to invest some kind of money.

Good news: I'm up 120 percent on an IPO I bought last month Bad news: I bought 1 share as a joke.

Isn't this every guy in his 20s? :D I hate the idea of making money via gambling ... ahem... I mean extremely well thought-through market evaluation.. in a society where your well-being depends on the amount of capital you manage to hoard. But it is what it is. There's worse things one can be addicted to.

In a sense yeah it is gambling, but saving your money in a bank account doesnt do much good either especially when whatever interest rate you have on that savings wont be enough to make up for inflation.
