Talking to coworkers I feel like having stocks is like, idk, responsible or something? I do worry about the moral implications and I swear I've made this post before but like; look I'm not changing the world here, I'm surviving. I'm hoping maybe, maybe one day I'll be financially stable and I won't have to worry about literally everything.
If setting some money off to the side to play stocks is responsible then maybe I should give it some thought.
You, as a single person investing maybe a couple hundred dollars, are not going to make a dent in the stock market on your own.
Which is comforting in a way. I get that there's no ethical consumption under Capitalism but like, I don't want to 100% turn into RISE AND GRIND 😤💪
even those people are probably not making that much of a dent in the stock market.
Right but on that note it's more the worry of essentially going full WSB reddit and being an obnoxiously loud gambler your lifestyle.
That's not my personality at all, but money changes people.
I'm putting the cart way before the horse though.
so those people have a predisposition to brainrot i think and by worrying about it i would say chances of having this problem are very low
as long as you like, temper your expectations and never invest more than you could afford to lose (many of the stocks i own i've held for like 5+ years because they've dipped in value and selling at a loss is a bad idea) you should be fine.
Oh absolutely. This is shit that I'd be like "hey instead of buying another game I'm not gonna play, I could buy stock and tell it to reinvest the dividends." I don't get a 401k at this shit job so I'm gonna have to have something sitting around.
