How many of these do you think are real?
I mean anyone can go and change a few elements to display any number on any website. And when a WSB post can go viral doing it, why not fake a ss for some upvotes?
Part of me in the back of my mind has always questioned these post. I genuinely do not understand how someone can lost $200k+, more money then a lot of peoples current savings, then make a “meme” about it.
Luckily, we all learn at different stages and mine was early enough. But how can someone be excited for some dumbass WSB post after losing a house.
I’m not saying this to bring people down even more. But genuinely if I lost 200k+, as much as a house and more. I wouldn’t be able to function, shit i’d probably wouldn’t literally be able to eat. I can’t imagine waking up, and not constantly thinking about the decision that led up to it. Maybe i’m just broke, but that amount of money can change so many lives.
I know i’m not the only one that feels this way, and every time it’s discussed about people brush it off. But my question to you regards, if you actually lost your savings. Everything, zip, gone, would you be able to wake up each morning?
