I've made a series of poor financial choices over the last several years which have led to me feeling constantly stressed the fuck out.

I have no one to blame really but myself, although a lot of it feels like just bad luck and timing.

Most recently I took on too big of a mortgage because the neighborhood I was in got too expensive and I thought my family needed more space. The house wound up being a total fucking lemon, I've been here about a year and literally have not had a week without something new going wrong. I've spent over six figures in repairs and we still haven't even been able to fully move in, and I no longer have money to furnish the place nor have I saved anything in a year. And as it turns out, I actually liked living in a smaller home better. I can't sell this house until I fix all the problems, and by then I'll have taken too big a beating on it and probably won't be able to even afford to move into a smaller house in the neighborhood. I often imagine myself in my former problem-free home just to try to shed some of the weight of the situation, like when I put my kids to bed I imagine we are in their old room and that when I was done I could go enjoy myself instead of having to work on fixing some house problem.

And this is just the latest in a long series of fuckups.

I'm hanging on by a thread, gents. I could really use an alt season.

How are you guys doing?

You aren't alone. You could've been me, literally invested $100k (most of my networth at the time) into crypto circa 2022 right at that $48k deadcat bounce. To make matters worse, I did it all in eventually going to die alts (I remember a couple of them being Harmony One and VRA) instead of btc. Literally right after I bought in, the Ukraine War started then soon after the aggressive rate hikes, and then later in the year the Luna and FTX collapse. I never truly recovered after that catastrophe, with me swinging from alt to alt and I kept making the wrong choices while I missed out on the SOL run from $10 to over $100 for example. Also missed out on the SOL mania coins and kept picking the wrong coins on those too.

Now? I'm 60% down from my breakeven. I've technically been in crypto since 2020 but didn't get the chance to throw big money at it until it was too late (see the story above). This year hasn't made things any easier on me and I'm seriously considering capitulating.

Did you waive a home inspection or something? If not, how did your home inspector manage to miss $100k+ worth of urgently needed repairs?

You bought a house without inspection?
If the previous seller found one sucker to buy it (you), then surely you can find another sucker to take it off your hands.

Surviving just fine. Renting, no debt, 600k in investments, half in crypto, hoping to get an altcoin season so I can retire.
900k would be the bare minimum I need to cover my current expenses without any major sacrifices, so if crypto does 2x across the board I'm gold. A bit too heavy into eth, so I've been getting rekt by it, but I believe it can hit 10k or close to it.

Sorry, anon. I know that feel as well, actually. Traded away probably 30% of my portfolio just making bad trades over the years. Only recently did I decide to finally stop trying to trade my way up and just hold.

I had an inspection, they were things that were covered by walls or would have been difficult for an inspector to spot. Or a series of things like HVAC issues, plumbing, etc. that all looked fine at the time.
