It's days like today that it truly feels like you can never get ahead. That the game is rigged against you. Give up now. You're not an elite and never will be.
I get it. But don't give in to that negative mindset.
I'm proof that a nobody can make progress.

Maybe there'll be a good explanation when the smoke clears. But for now, a brokerage restricting trades breaks a fundamental rule of the game in my opinion. That you can buy and sell freely on the public market. I thought $GME $AMC and more would crash, but not like this...
What can you do about it? Again, while I don't like how it went down, many of us feared the GameStop trade wouldn't end well. If we're honest, probably a lot of the people trading GameStop even felt the same way, but they thought they could get out in time.
They were willing to take a risky gamble. And they have every right to. And I still hope it goes well. Truly, I do.
But why risk in the first place? Could it be that some believe it's their only shot at gaining riches?
There's another way -- it's way less cool though I'm afraid

Did you know that a single $10k investment compounded at a 15% rate for 33 years will be worth $1 million? Don't have $10k? What can you invest now that can earn a safe 15%? I assure you, there's dozens of candidates. Find them. Buy them. Hold them. And no one can screw you
I've lived below the poverty line much of my adult life. I get it. But the trick is doing what you can with what you have.
In 2015, I bought the PayPal $PYPL spinoff, sinking every penny I could afford. Did the trade make me rich? Not right away. I still had to keep grinding

But I still hold PayPal today. Up 550%, boy I'm glad I sunk what I could into it (better than my 15% annual goal). But I kept buying others when I could... $TREX, $MKSI, ha and even #bitcoin
. All of these jokers are helping a nobody like me

Who doesn't want to 10x their money in a month? I do. But I believe I can win the game with a good track record for accuracy, a modest return, and a long time horizon without the risk.
My appeal is don't feel like it's high-stakes gambling or nothing. You can get rich slowly.
