That feeling is more common than people admit, and it’s not a sign that something is wrong with you, it’s a sign that money solved one problem, not all problems.
Money removes pressure:
•Bills
•Survival stress
•Limited options
•Surround yourself with people who challenge and sharpen you
A simple way to frame it:
•Money gives you freedom
•Purpose gives you fulfillment
Without purpose, freedom feels empty.
If you don’t understand something, it’s okay to stay quiet.
You have “CFEI, Economy & making finance easy to understand” in your bio, yet you’re mixing up basic structure.
First, retail traders don’t need licenses.
Brokers, fund managers, and Bureau De Change operators do.
Second, the term “forex trader” is already misused.
Actual forex traders are bureau de change operators dealing with physical currency flows…those are the ones that require licensing.
What most of us do is speculate on CFDs.
And with CFDs, you’re not buying crude oil, currencies, or gold physically…you’re trading price differences.
So no, you don’t need a license to speculate on price.
You can go long or short on any instrument without owning it.
The real issue isn’t whether trading is profitable.
It’s that social media sold a fake version of it.
₦250k won’t magically become millions.
There are no guaranteed returns.
And I don’t blame you for thinking that way.
I blame the “forex mentors” who pushed rented lifestyles, fake profits, and sold dreams instead of reality.
They made nonsense look real…
So now real trading sounds like nonsense.
Trading is a skill.
Most people won’t master it.
But that doesn’t make it fake.
Because for the longest time, especially before life soft financially - "some of you" designed your entire anticipation of happiness around the "fine things of life".
Now you have the visas, fast cars, deep pockets.
Nothing more, that fit your original design for happiness, is there to anticipate.
The fine things of life are undeniably great perks, but they are just what they are - perks.
And to hit this inflection point when you've just hit 1/3rd of life is the easiest route to depression.
True happiness is not tied to fleeting desires, perishables or ephemerals - it is always tied to purpose and ikigai.
If you find yours before the perks of life hit your shore, you will look forward to every day - this time in a fast car, in a nice condo, staring through the overwhelming stretch of your woman's bumbum on a Greek island.
Most men feel like men and that’s where the ego comes from. But being a man isn’t about how you feel, it’s about how you act. Stop identifying with the idea of who you should be, and start showing it through your behavior.
Be a man.
So yeah, biologically it might not be harmful in moderation. But psychologically and behaviorally, it can still shape you in ways that aren’t optimal if you’re trying to build strong discipline and control.
I’m not arguing that there are short-term physiological benefits. Sure, endorphins, relaxation, and even some correlations with health markers. But that’s not the full picture.
Go back to school Doctor 👨⚕️ unno sabi anything
per Cleveland Clinic, Healthline studies & others: masturbation reduces stress/mood via endorphins/oxytocin, aids sleep, eases pain (incl. cramps), boosts self-esteem/sexual knowledge. Men: frequent ejaculation linked to lower prostate cancer risk in some research (e.g. 2016 cohort of 31k+). No serious side effects; myths (blindness, infertility) false. Moderation avoids minor chafing.
Even the research you mentioned is mostly correlational, not causal. “Linked to” doesn’t mean “this is the reason,” and it doesn’t account for lifestyle, mindset, or frequency patterns.
