The day trading phenomenon is just so sad. My mom has a few friends whose sons fell for the meme and just sit at home all day making these bets. It always ends up with them losing all their "progress" and, in a very real sense, wasting huge tracts of their lives staring at random numbers being generated. Nothing built, nothing gained, nothing grown. All that remains is regret. That existence is undeniably cushy but psychologically hellish. Down to the countryside with them.
