I'm 27 and if I invested money into crypto or stocks when I was younger I'd be driving super cars right now. I gave up almost completely. Was a NEET for a long, long time.
It may feel easy to give up now but in the future normies will use your lack of money to abuse you and humiliate you. All of them will attack you once you start trying to moneymaxx. So you may as well start moneymaxxing now. Work multiple jobs, buy stocks, buy crypto. Be extremely frugal and don't go into debt. Drive cheap cars (honda/toyota) follow smart financial advice like the 10% rule for cars (if you make $300k a year, buy a $30k car for example). You can thank me later when you see that everyone else made horrible financial decisions. Most people are in debt and they still have fancy cars and stuff.
Also. If you're not trying hard you will be forced to work around stupid normies who hate you for not being stupid and abusive like them.
The longer you stay a brokie, the longer normies are allowed to abuse and humiliate you. If you moneymaxx you'll see that you start gaining a lot more freedom and are separated from stupid people. People will be forced to respect you, even if you're ugly and short. It's not hard to stand out in a positive way.
You MUST fight back against the normies who are trying their very best to label you as unintelligent/evil/stupid/mentally ill. By making smart decisions, you can prove your internal worth and die knowing you're a great person. Don't let them get to you. Trust me, they will damage you for being a good person. If you can't be strong outwardly, be strong internally. You'll feel proud when you see them doing stupid shit for DECADES. Normies don't like to think outside of the box. They don't care about crypto or stocks -- they just drink and fuck stupid people. They are truly mentally handicapped.
