Lost 90k gambling, don't make the same mistakes as me

I invested in meme stocks and traded options, now I down almost 100,000 dollars. I am 35 years old and I only have 55,000 dollars left to my name. I hope you guys are smarter than me and don't make stupid decisions. You won't get lucky. Invest in index funds and slowly keep accumulating wealth. This is not a get rich quick scheme.

Years and years of saving straight down the toilet. I watch tickers all day long and stress over the tiniest moves in stock price. All for what? To get cleaned out.

Don't be like me kids. The market is not your friend in the short term. Have a good day.
