    That’s good to hear, I hope you’re able to keep it up. I’m sure you’ve heard this before but just in case, if you haven’t you should really consider also running a long term buy and hold portfolio. Fund that Roth IRA every year if you can. It’s a whole lot easier than active trading so it really shouldn’t take up much time and when you’re an old person you will be glad you’ve got that pile stashed away.

      I’ve already messed up at this point haha. I spent my whole life allowing myself to be exploited for a promise that never came. I mean, I guess it still could (not really, but in a sense I guess). I’ve been instructed to go get some cash when so and so dies, and though I’m sure it’s still there, new obstacles have entered the fold.

      I don’t know. If I can make enough to live today and buy a few beers I’m good.

      I’ve been an idiot all of my life.

      I’m going to take your advice though. I promise. Gonna get on that tomorrow. I recently made enough to increase my investing amount by 60%, which would be amazing for someone with actual money haha. I’ll throw that extra 60% into an IRA.
