Guys, its time I admitted I have a problem. I have become addicted to investing my disposable income.
It started last year. I bought some small ones, you know, just to try it out, just to see what all the fuss was about. But we all know how that story goes. I decided to invest a little more. Then a little more. I knew I could stop any time, so whats the harm?
I still remember standing in that gas station, making my nighly beer run. As I looked at the price the thought crossed my mind, "maybe I should compound this money first before I buy beer with it." Whats one night without a drink anyways? But then it happened again. And again. Pretty soon I was going days without alcohol. It was getting harder to rationalize my habit, the shakes and cold sweats of neglecting my body's neccesities were starting to show.
I should have quit at this point, I should have seeked help. But I didn't, I was in love. I loved the crypos with their ups and downs, I loved the mellow index funds. I loved equity crowdfunds with their delayed gratification. I've even resorted to precious metals because I want to feel my investments.
Now I sit here, with my dwindling supply of cigarettes, staring down this nicotine patch. Has it really come to this? Have I really sunk so low as to have to quit smoking? The things I will do for money now are embarassing.
That's just the way addictions work. You don't just quit one, you replace it with something else. As long as it's disposable income, then it's not really a problem. The issue comes when you start gambling and "investing" with money that is needed to pay for necessities, like food. @swerdan may go hungry this week, due to my addiction of trying to show him a good time while he's in Asia.
