So, you’ve lost money. Maybe like my neighbour in the stock market, or perhaps luck left you at the poker table. Whatever the case, your wallet is feeling lighter, and so is your soul.
But before you spiral into despair, let’s look at some unconventional ways to cope with your financial fumble. The “It Was Monopoly Money Anyway” MindsetFirst, remind yourself that money is just a concept. Sure, it pays for things like food, rent, and WiFi, but at the end of the day, it’s just numbers on a screen or coloured bits of paper.
So, if you accidentally torched a chunk of your savings, just pretend it was all pretend. Like Monopoly money. That makes it sting less, right? Reframe It as “Tuition Fees”Who needs an overpriced degree when you’ve just learned firsthand that putting your entire savings into an obscure cryptocurrency named after a vegetable wasn’t a great idea? Consider your financial loss as the cost of education.
Find Free Ways to Feel RichLosing money doesn’t mean you have to feel poor. Dress in your finest outfit. Walk into a luxury hotel lobby like you own the place.
Drink free water and bask in the fancy atmosphere. Take advantage of free museum days and pretend you’re a cultured aristocrat. You might be broke, but you can still be bougie.
Make a Comeback Plan Alright, time for the boring but necessary part—actually fixing the situation. Whether it’s creating a new budget, picking up a side hustle, or swearing off gambling forever, having a plan gives you hope. And hope is worth more than any stock or bet.
