RE: I have no choice but to be poor, in debt, etc. People here are talking about how they spend $20,000+ on this like it's nothing. Makes me sick.

It's often easier to make money by reducing your expenses than by trying to increase your income. How did you accumulate debt? What are your monthly expenses? Most people think they need to own a car, need to own a house, need to have a wife and kids, need to have a pet, need to have a degree, while, in truth, those are all decisions that people voluntarily choose to take. Some would rather work 40+ hours a week to afford those. I'd much rather work 20 and live freely.

Granted that might not be your case and you could have health issues in a country with shitty health care.

Just keep a positive attitude. I'm pretty sure people here seem to be more well off than they really are. It's a social platform after all. That said, most people here likely don't understand the economics behind this site. I've read of people leaving their jobs to make blogs on here full time or aiming to retire soon from this income. They're in for a surprise once they realise that the amount they're receiving now isn't representative of what they'll be getting in 2-3 weeks, much less in a couple of months.

Anyway, try to have a better attitude and to be smart with your future investments. In the crypto world, biases are your enemy and understanding is power ($). Good luck!

I have reduced all expenses bayond what is considered living comfortably. I have sacrificed everything I can. I much rather work 20 and live freely as well, but technically I can't afford to work any less than 60, which I physically can not do so I don't, but that just brings me back to my original point...
