did anyone else here get fucked by shit parents? i didnt know anything about investing until just now because my parents were poor and dont care about anything. my dad watched jim cramer and just laughed whenever he made a funny noise and never learned anything.
i saw this post where this dudes dad invested in stocks 10 years ago and forgot and just opened up a portfolio randomly with 80k in it. my dad just smoked cigarettes and drank beer he never invested a dollar. i live in utter poverty in a shit hole 40 miles from anything. i never got help buying a car, or going on vacations, or bieng happy or do anything. all i got was a computer to sit in my room all day and it made me fucking miserable i just wanted to be normal.
quit being a victim and take some responsibility for your life

stop blaming your parents for your fucked up life, user
start doing something for your future by yourself
you will never make it and will live of welfare if you keep having this mentality
Ian Russell
Even if your alcoholic father gave you a flat $80k you'd still hate him since the shadow is within you not the other.
Joshua Carter
my 70 year old dad who just retired earned between 250and500k a year for about 30 years he literally has no savings or assets
wtf
Joshua Hill
My dad was investing, but my mother was nagging him so much, that he had to stop. As much as he had average returns, if he'd hodl what he was planning, he could get like 100x. Women are the cancer of this society. I'll never marry.

my parents literally dont even have a house though. we live in a 300 year old shitbox with no upgrades. always cold in the winter. everything is mess because everyone just gave up because god hates us and makes all of our life hell, the windows are covered in chipped paint and cracked and stained and shit.
its literally hell on earth i think being homeless or jail is better
Jose Morris
your parents are just random humans user, you shouldnt hold them to your standards of being perfect and knowing everything. let it go and sort your own shit out
Adam Diaz
my mom works at a bank and taught me early to never take consoomer loans with shit interest rates and how investing works, and the importance of saving money. when i was like 13 she showed me a site where you could buy stocks with fake money for fun so i knew how that stuff works and when i became 18 i got access to index funds my parents had put money into since i was a kid. we talk crypto sometimes but she doesn't really know much about it. feels good man
Adam Richardson
Yeah, I haven't spoken to my dad in 10+ years, don't even know where he lives or if he's even alive. Fuck those toxic people though, you are your own person, build a new family and meaningful relationships based on positive values instead. You can do it without them, you have to. No excuses, you have to win.
Easton Hughes
its took me 10 years then the average person to move out because of this shit. i tried getting jobs and they kept stealing my checks saying the lights or power were gonna go out if i didnt. i got addicted to drugs and then that fucked all my money. i still have never had a car. i finally have like 15k and im trying to invest it and failing.

> all i got was a computer to sit in my room all day
Yet, you never bothered educate yourself regarding finances. Go fuck yourself with that victim mentality soiboy, you're never gmi.
William Bell
Did he have a gambling habit or something?
Daniel Barnes
My mother recently said to my father, that he destroyed her dream of ever having home (they have a flat). While it's actually the other way around.
Gavin Cook
You will find when he dies he probably has a secret family, secret hobby that is a money sink, or he is just lying that he has no savings.
Wyatt Garcia
I had a basically perfect childhood until I was 7 years old. We took a vacation every year, my parents were lively hopeful and happy. They both had good jobs. Then my drunk idiot dad got drunk and smashed his car into a tree and turned my mom's spine into dust. Since then life has been hell.
Wyatt Martinez
how do people have a secret family?
Angel Wright
Can’t relate. My family was middle class but here’s how it went for me. >dads always been into stocks >dad opened a credit card in my name at 16 always paid it off to get me a perfect credit score >parents always bought my cars outright but then made me pay them the money but went pretty easy on me >dad takes me golfing all the time >I start trading and me and my dad bond over it, giving each other advice >parents now in their 60s and retired and I’m 25. They go on luxurious vacations 4 times a year and always invite me but I rarely go. >have a kinda shitty job but still have a networth of 90k
i didnt know about stocks. i thought you had to be some super genius who studies it for 4 years and goes to college for it and then just gamble with money and most people leave money.
i didnt know i could just put money in adobe and apple and amazon over the years and it would of gone up 10x
Thomas Bailey
My dad died of autoerotic asphyxiation and was sleeping with tenants and doing crack. They're all greasy spics. Id just take them over but he left them in pretty shit condition and my mom is forcing me to get the tenants kicked out which is no easy task and I don't believe they're all dishonest. But my mom basically turns into a lunatic over everything.
Whatever I'll just be rid of it all and go back to trying to make it.
Get over it pansy. People have crawled from the rock bottom way up. Many have gone through much worse than getting "fucked by shit parents". Ungrateful fuck
Lol I come from Greece where everything got fucked in the Greek economic crisis. You think you have it bad while living in the US? Fuck off
Bentley Hughes
On that note: Petition to have IP flags in user posts, so that we can know who was born in a shithole country and who wasn't

Cameron Reed

Adrian Martinez

Joseph Perez
>Parents go out of their way to teach me the value of money >Now user you always never live above your means >Get a nice summer job while in university >Holy fuck I suddenly have fuck loads of money for the first time in my life >After the second month check my bank account >Basically have the same amount I started with >Realized I spent it all on fast food and other pointless shit >That was actually how I learned the value of money/saving >Graduate >Get a real job >Pay off student loans, car loans, etc stupidly fast >Buy a house >Pay it off in five years >Landlord and work a six figure jon
Yeah nah you'd still be poor. You never made anything out of yourself to begin with. Your dad could have invested but from the sounds of it he had no idea what he was doing.
Charles Garcia
Even worse, mine always told me that "investing will be important someday" yet they let me sit on $1000 of savings for 6 fucking years and never even helped me pick an investment vehicle. The first time ever that I bought in was during the covid dip
Sebastian White
I believe you. Most thirdies as a basis don't speak English, so the ones you have talked already have a certain educational level which translates into a certain socioeconomic status.
ive been watching videos of investors on youtube and theyre talking about buying their kids shares of amazon and people getting stocks from their grandparents that have like tripled plus everyone is getting an inheritence and house from their parents. im the only one. my friend was from a rich suburb and he says all his friends live in 600,000 dollar houses, get cars at 16, vacation every year, grandparents pay for college, hooked up with good jobs. meanwhile im fucking miserable. everyone where i live is poor as dog shit and no one has a penny
i live rural its infinitely worse then being in a 3rd world city. plus my roof leaks when it rains, house is cold all winter, everything is dark and dirty, my entire house is a mess, i sleep on a floor in a storage room surrounded by garbage.
Liam Bell
Will you stop being such a bitch and a victim already? You now know about investing. You have to make the change by yourself. Pick yourself up
Hunter Bennett
My parents lost like two apartments on mortages after the economy in our coutry took a big hit post 2008 and my dad built a big house in the middle of fucking nowhere that now sits completel uninhabited for years because he is in a asylum due to needing constant medical care due to his mental and physical decay. Basically even if he were to sell that house somehow he would never recover the money he put in. Waste, a complete waste.
All in all I would estimate a $250k-$300k or so loss. Now we are all poor as fuck.
Lincoln Lopez
you have it easy. be thankful youre not brazillian
Brody Sanchez
holy fuck, you are so out of touch, aren't you? 50% of the US workforce earns less than $30k/yr. Get that statistic through your thick fucking skull before you start complaining about your friends with $600k houses and cars at 16 legalreader.com/low-wage-jobs-are-the-new-american-normal/
Grayson Cooper
My dad literally fucked me and made me touch him while he’d wear women’s clothes So no offense but “my parents didn’t teach me to invest” isn’t quite an actual problem
