Making Money Isn't Easy

In just a few short years, my personal assets have experienced a drastic shock, plummeting from their peak. This journey has been more than just a numerical decline; it's been a brutal test of mental fortitude and lifestyle. Looking back, the rapid accumulation of assets led me to the misconception that 'making money is easy.' Under this blind confidence, I began investing funds into high-risk cryptocurrencies and leveraged contracts that I didn't truly understand. When the market was booming, the numbers on paper were indeed astonishing. However, as the global economic landscape shifted and black swan events occurred frequently, the bubble burst much faster than imagined. A series of forced liquidations and market crashes evaporated years of my accumulated wealth in just a few weeks. The ripple effect of this sharp decline in assets was devastating. The first to crumble was my psychological defense, with severe anxiety and insomnia becoming constant companions. Every day I woke up facing the fear of my assets shrinking. This was followed by forced compromises in my real life. The high-consumption lifestyle I had become accustomed to instantly became a heavy burden, and 'decluttering' transformed from a trend into a necessity for survival.
