I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.

How do people afford to buy $1M houses in Chicago? Surely not everyone buying them is rich (which is somewhat of a subjective term). My wife and I are 30 and have a combined income of almost $300k and trying to buy something that expensive seems asinine yet people do it. Am I missing something?

Hi All. I passed out from a Tier-2 MBA college last year and got placed in a so called Big 4. My college placement cell had some policy due which I couldn't negotiate with the HR and ended up being lowballed. I come from a lower middle class family and 90% of earnings is going towards Loans(Education and Personal). I am almost 29 and have ZERO savings! I am not bogged down by the savings part but life seems to be so crushing at times. Continued in comments...
