Probably your best bet, you could hit about 80 to 1 ratio. Nvidia looks about 10 to 1.

As my future self finished the message “trust me bro” I’d probably just assume my future self is mentally unwell and still not pull the trigger.

I will always remember this day. Just left a motion city soundtrack concert after midnight. My buddy whips out a joint and says happy legalization. All I thought was how everything was headed towards better times. Dear God how wrong I was.

Don't let Bailey move in with you, she'll give you the virus and subsequently ruin the rest of your college experience. Also drop the feelings for Sage, they're going to break your heart into a million and one pieces here in a few weeks.

Insist on Mom getting her will made and everything in a place you can find, make sure she has everything in order including life insurance. Don't f****** wait on this. And don't trust your unemployed roommate, she's going to really hurt you.

Marry the man you’re currently dating. He’s the right one.

Did you not end up marrying that man ?
1
Luckyzzzz Apr 1, 2026 +1
No…. I left him, bc I didn’t appreciate him. Spent the last 5 years missing him and comparing every other man to him. Called him in December to see if he still cared….. and yes, he cared. But he had just gotten married (settled) and his wife was pregnant. He cried and told me he thought of me on his wedding day, which I totally believe. He treated me like an angel, and I was looking for the wrong thing. And now we both regret our choices.

Who knows maybe life will find a way for you two to get back one day. Life is weird like that

Luckyzzzz Apr 1, 2026 +1
Yea, I straight told him to call me if he decides to leave. At this point I’m only dating providers…. I’ve given up on love. But he was both….. he was everything. And if he decides he’s done I’ll run back and treat his child like a princess and be kind as hell to his ex. I don’t wanna break up a family, but if that family doesn’t work for reasons outside of me, then he’s the only man I’d ever care to love again.

You know how you were just unemployed for 2 months and were hoping this crappy part time job would go full time? You're about to be unemployed for another 10 months starting in March. You'll see why. The unemployment benefits are sweet though.

Lotto Saturday: 3, 13, 14, 34, 50, 51. The prize for that Saturday draw was £3.8million. For £2 a ticket, that's a return on investment nobody's gonna see with stock or crypto. Husband and I would be able to live in a nice big house with a nice big garden, not spend 3 more years in a tiny flat and then 3 years in the marginally larger very badly DIY'd semi-detached rental we're in now.
