So I'm in a very, very, very bad spot, and I feel pretty much like nothing at this point.

0:13.8

I took out a, so basically my job, I work at the federal job. I guess I could say it, I work at the United States Postal Service,

0:25.5

and we lost a lot of our package volume, so I knew that I was going to have to come up with some more money somehow,

0:32.0

and stupidly I took on day trading, and I made like $120,000 in three months, but I took out a $60,000

0:41.1

loan to get that. And, um, and, uh, long story short, I ended up losing the money and then I took

1:38.9

from the bottom of my heart. This isn't a pep talk. You're not a loser. Sorry about the girlfriend situation. You'll look back on this many years from now,

1:47.9
