You: realising there is always a new one, always exotic, always pricey, and the goalposts move the moment you have stocked the cupboard.
Meanwhile the egg, the steak, and the butter never needed a campaign.
@HarryUKISA Placed a smaller order this morning - severe risk aversion versus FOMO π€¦πΌββοΈ
Don't think I'm cut out for this game. Can't bear to look Friday!
@2147mill You are rejoicing in a red day and I'm distraught ππ
Need to get my head around investing is a long-term thing- 2 months is too early for taking out profits ππ€¦πΌββοΈ
@2147mill S&S all new to me - I hear a lot about growth, and early days and some of my pies are doing really well. But it's unrealised growth and can be lost any minute - do you periodically sell and stash the cash? I'm quite risk averse so when I see green I want to safeguard the gain!
@Arma_Lite_14 I despair at human intelligence- there are long established genera, classes, species in the animal kingdom. This doesn't belong to any of them as it is not real
No need to ask Grok - use your own brain instead

@2147mill I spent quite a bit on a nice car (not new) about 5 years ago. Completely different mindset now, going to keep this one until it falls apart and keep my money for better things!
@JoshCF_ Tried for the last two months to get a better deal from @BT / @EE as advertised on their sites, but no, for new customers only. Been with BT for decades and they weren't having any of it. Switched and immediately plagued by emails and calls from BT retentions. Too late!
