I made about $14k USD last year. I did dabble in stocks and crypto (and lost $8k) but due to the wash sale rule I couldn't even get the max $3k deduction. So for my crypto stuff I just lied by filing as a single statement instead of a summary of statements, added the deposits together as the cost basis, then added the withdrawals together as the proceeds. So I now have the max $3k capital loss deduction.
Because I'm a poorcel, surely they won't find out. Right? All this did was increase my refund by about $200 USD.

Wagie jobs are depressing and there's no way out of the misery if you keep working there. I was so desperate that I clung to a faint hope and gambled on it, because the stocks and crypto were the only chance for someone like me to not be poor.
Eventually I did get out of that situation, by completely falsifying my resume and getting a professional job.

Don't listen to strags who recommend shit like VTSAX. Nobody ever got rich off that.

Please remind me how many rags to riches stories start with a minimum wage worker day trading and buying shitcoins.

Clearly you and I don't get the same youtube advertisements.
"Hi. My name is Caleb,
four years ago, I flunked out of college due to bad grades
last year... I was still working a shitty dead end job in food service
What I am about to tell you, in this simple youtube ad...
...can transform your life, just like it transformed mine
...so please my friend, please don't skip this ad, I know you have a feeling this is impossible
*...or that this is some sort of scam, or unachievable for you..."
but my simple methods have helped thousands of people not only escape poverty
but achieve livable incomes...
even six figure incomes...
and in some cases, even seven figure incomes!!!"
you don't need any special skills for this method
*this isn't some get rich quick scam, or obnoxious multilevel marketing"
This is a tried and proven method, that has worked for CENTURIES
and I am ready to explain to you, exactly what it is
and by how leveraging the power of cryptocurrency
...your future can be financially transformed in as little as months
...and using the tried and true financial principles that I can teach you
...anyone who actually puts in the effort has the potential to make serious money!
but you have to ACT NOW! The world is changing and this opportunity won't be available to as many people!"
Anyway, join this guy's crypto forex-like thingy while paying $300 for his course and you too could be a college drop out millionaire (and/or a single mom millionaire).
Should I be concerned the youtube algorithm thinks these desperate ads are relevant to my lifestyle?
