Yesterday the futures market was rough, and I took another big loss. Trading hasn't been going well lately. I haven't eaten dinner for days because all the cash I advanced from my credit cards went straight into the market. Still, part of me is hoping the market turns around tomorrow.
There are other pressures around me too. My girlfriend and I have been arguing, and I understand that she wants us to settle down. Her family insists that we buy an apartment before we make things official. It is hard to think about that while I am already trying to recover from losses.
Today I had lunch with a colleague, and we talked for a long time. It helped calm me down. I also thought about my boss, who pushed through his hardest times before becoming extremely wealthy. But people like that are the exception. Maybe it is time for me to get back to a normal life. At least I still have a stable job right now.
