    I appreciate everyone thats joined the channel, subscribed, comments, likes the videos, I'm going to keep pushing through all this, and figure out a way forward for everything. I am still going to be dropping 2 videos a week, investing MAY have to be paused with any additional funds, but I plan to continue right back at it once this passes.

    Things happen the way they do because it's training for what's next. Shit doesn't get easier, you just get better at handling and preventing things. The only direction is forward

    I feel your pain man. I recently just got my pay check. I immediately had to turn around and drop a rack on fixing my car. Probably going to have to pick up some OT, so i can get more skin in the game. You got this man

      Also was going to say i appreciate you telling your story, because i feel like this is honestly a more accurate picture of people investing in America these days. There’s always curveballs that life throws at us. It affects us normies so much more than the rich people who have consultants or anything like that.

      ​@@mprydiilmfao, OT is "overtime", overtime occurs when you work hours past your scheduled 40 hour work week, so for every hour over 40 hours, you get paid ×1.5 your hourly rate, so if you make $20 per hour you multiple that by 1.5 and you get $30 per hour

      Just the small vet bill thats almost paid off. Besides that debt free, for now, I may have to get another car if this one turns out to have a blown engine though. I'll find out more this weeekend.

    Obviously i dont know the details but it sounds like you have a spending problem. It sounds to me like you have a newer Jeep. Why? Those are incredibly overpriced, historically unreliable vehicles. Do you not have an emergency fund? You need several months of savings before you even think about investing.
    Wish you the best brother but sounds like you could benefit from some Dave Ramsey videos. You've had tough luck but if youre living within your means they won't hurt as badly.

    • @TortoiseInvesting

      Jeep was a used 07, I paid the remainder I had left off and got $2,000 knocked off by doing so. I paid off and closed all my credit cards, I've paid off my medical debt, just a vet bill which is almost paid off. Dave is why I paid off my credit cards and did things the way I have, I use to carry debt and keep it, but I got tired of that. I've never owned anything newer, I always find ways to save and spend less. I was getting ready to start on a emergency fund after my vet bills were done then this happened.
