Not buying more AMD in 2013
This. Selling my position when the stock hit $160, and watching it climb above $400 now is soul crushing.
Too much money sitting in my money market account when I'm sure I'd be making way more interest if I put it in a mutual fund.
I've just never really trusted stocks. Might be because gambling problems caused issues in my fam growing up, so I just feel uncomfortable taking chances with money. Going to get on that this year for sure though regardless.

Tbf amd was bull shytting for a while, price wise, so I don’t blame you for taking profits.This. Selling my position when the stock hit $160, and watching it climb above $400 now is soul crushing.
Not even thinking about trying to buy an apartment during covid.

Idk if it was a bad decision or not but I got fired from a call center back in like 2015… I was on my Wire shyt juking stats as a supervisor. I knew it would catch up to me. Essentially.. our system only recorded 4 calls a day at random for Quality Assurance. I had access to the database for my team. Once I seen the 4 calls got recorded we had a code word ‘Farve’ 
That meant start doing whatever you had to do to get them off the phone under your handle time.. fam we was winning awards … getting pizza parties.. gift cards.. tickets to nba games… but I had a new team member come and was all ‘let’s do it by the book’ ass bih so somehow word got out.. so I got let go
Long story short.. this job was notorious for denying people their unemployment benefits so I got denied… luckily I had participated I the employee stock purchase program along with my 401K… I pulled ALL of that shyt out.. it was like 40K at the time.. this was when the company stock was at an all time high.. today it’s probably worth nothing.
Idk if it was a smart move looking back.. I believe you could transfer your 401k and I think that’s what i should of did… but cashing out on them stocks was the smart move
Idk how to spoiler the company name but fukk it

Yes, I was financially responsible then and now.

You have beaucoup post talking down home ownership, saying it is a stupid financial decision yet yo dumb ass constantly made dumb ass financial decisions.
Credit cards are hell to pay off.
I've been at 10k twice, 20k once, hit a lick and to give all up to the credit care. Was at 33k just getting it down to 1800 right now. Should be 0 balance at the end of the month.

Again I don't talk down on home ownership. I'm speaking to basic math and putting it out there that there are in fact ways to live other than brainlessly following conventional wisdom that says you buy a home because that's what you do.
Again I've posted my net worth on this site. You wanna lecture me where's yours? On a low income I've done decent for myself.
