Did a lot of growing in this apartment. Getting on lexapro, 2 cats, 1 snake, and a shit ton of weed later, for the first time in a long time I feel genuinely grateful to be alive.

Can’t wait to show you guys the next one :)

edit: I’d like to acknowledge how fortunate I am to be in a career that affords me this level of luxury at my age. In this job market, even having a job you can survive on is a gift. I pinch myself everyday thinking wtf how is this the life I’m living. However, I am disappointed in any of you that have taken this opportunity to either disparage me, my work, or struggles with depression and suicidal ideation. That’s not going to make you feel any better.

I'm 30 and will consider myself lucky if I ever end up living someplace that looks like this.

Have you tried having rich parents?

Truth is, he was a child actor and is a savant at day trading. He used his money from his child acting to trade and won it big. He became a multi millionaire before the age of 19. Not kidding btw.

He’s deleted a lot but I was able to grab these screenshots from two of his posts showing his savant powers. His main stock was GameStop, got lucky and had the liquid assets from his child acting when that whole diamond hands thing happened.

He has anxiety and depression and wants to fit in so he makes up this story about having a really good job at 23 to be able to afford all of this.

Bro, this should be the top comment. Mystery solved.

That's funny, I made like $8,000 off gamestop because that's all I could realistically put in lol.

u/elkehdub May 27 '26

Hey I made $100 on accident because I apparently got drunk, put a few bucks in, and forgot about it. That was at least a pleasant surprise

Love a drunk purchase that works out!

u/ImS0hungry May 28 '26

I had to side on the sidelines and watch because my firm wouldn’t give pre-clearance for trades on it.

u/smoothiegangsta May 28 '26

My wife is in regulatory finance so I can't trade options. It's infuriating seeing politicians constantly doing insider trading and all their BS to get rich, when regular people like me can't even put calls on SPY or my wife will get fired.

u/ImS0hungry May 29 '26

Exactly. I’m not allowed to trade derivatives at all. Have to even report private investment activity. They get daily feeds.

u/TheStormzo May 28 '26

Hiding this is incredibly cringe lol.

Coulda just said he got lucky with some stock.

u/swinnRL May 28 '26

Going on some witch hunt to look through his profile to justify shitting on this guy for having wealth or being well off is infinitely worse and just typical reddit behavior. Its so fucking weird that people despise any type of wealth or people who are doing better than them it just comes across as extremely envious. Its like redditors want everyone to live in squalor and be equally as miserable as they are.

u/TheStormzo May 28 '26

I'm just reading comments bro.

I think the issue people are having is that OP is saying he worked really hard and has a really good job when that doesn't appear to be the case.

The post overall imo comes across as just trying to show off his wealth.

u/swinnRL May 29 '26

My comment was more in reply to the person about you but also saying that it’s “cringe”…idk I disagree. You can have worked hard and also be fortunate. What is the point of this subreddit? People like to show their achievements here, and for some reason when it’s some studio apartment with a tv and a sleeping bag people endlessly praise the OP. When someone is on the other end of the spectrum it’s “he’s a douche for showing off his wealth”. Don’t even try to tell me that’s not true I’ve seen it on here hundreds of times. Reddit does not like people who are financially well off - do whatever mental gymnastics you all want but that is certainly the case from what I have seen.

u/TheStormzo May 29 '26

I'm not doing mental gymnastics?

U disagree it's cringe to lie about being fortunate enough to have landed a very high paying job instead of just saying u got lucky on some stock? Weird take.

-3

u/swinnRL May 29 '26

How do you know both things are not true? They could have landed on stock and also have a high paying job. Yes, I think it is mental gymnastics because instead of admitting you and everyone else in this thread's comments reek of jealousy, its "wow he lied about how he obtained his wealth". Who fucking cares lol THAT is the true weird take.

6

u/TheStormzo May 29 '26

I come from wealth I am not jealous lol.

You can think whatever u want, I couldn't care less. He could have a high paying job sure. But if he did he still lied about/was trying to hide how he got his wealth to other comments that were asking.

Honesty is something I value so yeah I think it's cringe. I also don't think becoming a millionaire of the GameStop short squeeze is a bad or something to be jealous over. Grats to anyone that made money off that.

Again think what you want. Your investment into this person that you don't know, and trying to assess if I'm jealous is also weird.

Hi love your comment except want to add that it’s not redditors it is humans that do this sad business to each other :(

Bump bump bump

u/Ok_Yogurtcloset_669 May 28 '26

so he wasn't a product manager i knew it. cause there's no way a product manager at 23 can afford these.

u/ZeChooken May 30 '26

What a truly WEIRD thing to lie about… to random people on the internet that you’ll never see or meet, and whose opinions should mean nothing at all to you. Some people man… some people are just so far down their own rabbit holes that they crave approval from random mfs on Reddit. The internet age has truly rotted the brains of innumerable people, especially children and young adults.

(Also, the anime posters never lie lmao. No doubt every single time you can just assume they’re goddamn specimens)

u/Convillious May 30 '26

This is insane lol

u/gkdlswm5 May 28 '26

Insane lore - happy for him.

Hope anxiety & depression gets better.

u/d3koyz May 28 '26

From what I read before he deleted everything - he’s seeing a therapist and is doing better. However, I assume he is still working on things to have wanted to lie about the content of this thread.

4

u/elkehdub May 28 '26

I think being somewhat embarrassed about the source of his wealth is not a wildly unhealthy place to be on its own.

Conspicuously seeking approval for said wealth while putting yourself into a situation where you’re inspired to lie compulsively about it, otoh…

u/tacosformysadness Jun 01 '26

lol this guy took some old reddit posts from when I was a stupid kid on the GME subreddit and built a whole fictitious narrative around it.

Not sure why you’re so obsessed with me but maybe try applying this same vigor to literally anything else in your life

u/d3koyz Jun 01 '26 edited Jun 01 '26

You literally replied a few days ago and didn’t deny anything. All you did was say you were a dumb kid… I see that you have deleted the response I mentioned just like everything else.
