The first time I lost **USD 100**.

I thought: *“It’s fine, I’ll get it back.”*

Then I lost **USD 500**.

I thought: *“Now I really have to get it back.”*

Then it was **USD 1,000**.

I wasn’t trying to win anymore.

I was trying to get back to the point where I had started.

Then it was **USD 5,000**.

Then **USD 10,000**.

And when I finally added everything up:

**USD 16,629 lost.**

Now I have **USD 1,569 in debt**.

The lesson isn’t “I learned how to trade.”

It’s much simpler:

**a person can ruin themselves trying to go back to the number they had before they started losing.**
