I lost my life savings chasing the dopamine hit and can relate to this. I'm in my mid 30s and suffering from career burnout. I know I can't afford a home when I can barely work full-time so I figured I'd trade. I was up, and up and up!

Then I was down, then up, then down.

One morning I woke up and I was so down, I sold out of fear.

Now I'm left with so little I might as well be starting from scratch.

This feels like gambling and here I thought I was smarter than those people that lost in casinos.
