Let's be honest. In the grand scheme of things, $1k isn't a lot of money. I'd say it's pretty easy to forget about as time passes by.

Nah probably not. If you had put $1,000 in, do you really think you’d have held until now? Even as other coins mooned?

^ reread the post, "forgot" is a keyword

Is now a good moment to invest (bc of inflation etc)? I have invested a bit over the past years and lost a lit of money- obviously these are long term investments so i hope it will get better over the next monthy/years.
But I’m wondering if I should keep investing now 🤔 any advice much appreciated 🙏

Do you have a set $ you save every month? I'm 27, I've been tracking spend since 2020 and my $ saved has very strong variances MoM. If we consider 2021 a more "regular" year, I varied from $600 saved one month up to $3.2k in another (though that was partially due to a job change)... It's not affecting my overall saving % (was 46%) but wondering if I should try to even it out a bit more?

I am sure this is a question with an obvious answer, but does anyone else just feel absolutely trapped in a job they hate because of their student loans?

I am pretty unhappy with my job the vast majority of the time, but I feel like I have no options. $160k at 6% and 7% interest cannot be ignored.

My concern with this platform has always been how they're engaging in DeFi to make profits with customer funds. That's how they offer things like "no fees on withdrawals" and APY rates above the competition. MATIC is becoming to valuable to risk leaving on this platform.

Security wise though, I think they're great and have no concerns there.
