The market has been really fierce these past two days. Everyone around is earning double-digit returns, with small accounts doubling and large accounts multiplying several times. It’s really eye-catching.

But I just want to ask, has anyone really lost a lot and can share their story? Don’t keep it to yourself. We’ve all been through ups and downs in this circle, and stories of losses might be more helpful to newcomers.

Honestly, my goal isn’t that ambitious. I just want to accumulate 500,000 yuan through trading, then return to a third-tier city to buy a house at will, find a relaxed job, and enjoy a comfortable retirement. I’m not aiming for sudden wealth, just want to earn a stable life steadily. Does anyone share the same idea?

Honestly, I've seen many cases of losing money, but no one dares to admit it. The dream of saving 500,000 for retirement sounds nice, but the actual process is really difficult. We all want to earn steadily and securely, but the market can turn on a dime. There are plenty of stories of losing money; it all depends on who dares to speak out. The get-rich-quick schemes really do more harm than good; earning steadily is more reliable. It's easy to say, but actually doing it is deadly, old brother. Housing in third-tier cities is indeed cheap, but the key is to consistently earn 500,000. I just want to live well and not be greedy. Jealousy towards those people is pointless; the focus is wrong. Most people end up losing money in the end—that's the rule. There are definitely others with the same idea, but few dare to persist.

Market trends are fierce, but I'm afraid it's just a carnival for the newbies; the scythe hasn't fallen yet. Truth be told, those who lost everything have already deleted the app and don't dare to show up and testify. A dream of 500,000 feels good, but the key is whether you can survive this round of rapid rise until that day. It seems rational, but it's really just about wanting to make steady money, I understand. But this circle never gives you a solid opportunity. People around you are making double? I just ask them when they took action, and what they earned after taking action.

Ha, to be honest, 500,000 is really solid, much more reliable than those who shout about getting rich overnight every day. You really need to listen to the stories of losses, or you'll easily get chopped up like a chive. The market is indeed fierce, but I will still be cautious. A house in a fifth-tier city plus a relaxed job—this goal is perfect, we're fellow travelers. Multipliers are all survivor bias; no one talks about margin calls.

Honestly, those who lost money are hiding away, only those making money are flooding the screens. This is the current situation. Turning 500,000 into a profit in a third-tier city, this goal is much more realistic, compared to shouting about 100x every day, which is more reliable. I'm also just trying to steadily make a profit, not interested in all those flashy tricks. I've suffered too many losses. I've lost more than once, but there's no point in saying it. Everyone just wants to hear stories about making money. +1 for those who want a stable life. Don't ask me how I know, I paid the tuition fees. This wave of market movement is indeed fierce, but I feel the risks are also accumulating. No one dares to tell the truth.

Haha, 500,000 in a third-tier city really feels great. But with this market, I advise you to stay calm and patient. Those who lost over a million are kneeling—it's really hard to bring up. Seeing others' screenshots every day has long shattered my mentality. It's basically gambling with a different name.

50,000 yuan to buy a house for retirement in five lines of trades, this idea is brilliant. I just like this down-to-earth goal more than those claiming monthly income of a million. --- I've heard too few stories of losing money; most people quietly get rich. That's the real trap for newcomers. --- In a multi-fold market, the ones who should reflect the most are the accounts that haven't doubled. What are they thinking? --- It's not that easy to find a relaxed job, buddy. First, earn 50,000 yuan before talking. --- Everyone around is making money, I only believe in 30%, the rest are just hype. --- Making money in this wave of the market is easy, but the key is whether you can hold on. Isn't that what many people are doing? --- Ah, no, the real question should be, has anyone truly achieved stable annualized returns through this trading? --- 50,000 yuan is not too much or too little, but I haven't seen many who honestly earn it in this circle.
