Probably in the top 5 for pieces of advice I’ve seen on this sub. Seeing those digits inside your bank app is like post-nut clarity.

I also recommend buying something you’ve had on your wish-list for a while, something you’d never normally buy with your paycheque. Like I personally ended up buying a nice camera, after years of saying I’ve always wanted a “professional” camera.

Making those abstract numbers and graphs feel tangible will seriously save you (and your jaw from the late nights behind Wendy’s)

So when you lose a ton, you should sell something that you cherish?

Better to sell something someone else cherishes, like mom’s wedding ring or grandma’s house.

When I lose a ton, I also buy something that I've wanted to for awhile. It feels very cheap in comparison to the loss I just suffered, lol

whenever i go on these streaks I take out half, buy a nice dinner, a semi expensive thing i've wanted, and throw the rest in a high yield savings for taxes. Keeps you in touch with the actual value of money.

Absolutely, what I started doing whenever I win (which is rare), is taking the winnings out in physical cash and then depositing it in my bank account, different kind of feeling

This is great advice. Couldn’t have said it better.
