My true miserable experience: Sharing my groovy experience with you all, and plans for what’s next

The following are all my real experiences, I hope you have the patience to read them all, thank you for your support.

Two months ago I was an ordinary person, not short of money, working normally, earning money, having fun, and supporting my family.

Until I came across a very professional group of scammers who almost took my years of savings. They asked me to transfer my Crypto to a platform for investment, only to have it stolen when I transferred it. Lost (35,000US dollars)..

At that time I almost wanted to die, I had nothing left. I had no strength to get through each day, it was just too much.

I don’t even dare to tell my family/my loved ones that I feel useless and why I am in this situation.

It’s all my own fault!

To make me even more devastated, my grandmother got sick and needed a lot of money for her surgery.

OMG! I had almost no money left and had to use a large amount of money temporarily. I just wanted to bang my head against the wall.

I had no choice but to contact some friends/colleagues to borrow money.

Fortunately, there were a few true friends who were willing to lend me money, also had a few friends who knew I was going to borrow money and didn’t respond to messages, which I deeply realized at that time.

Real friends will help you in your time of need. Fake friends will directly ignore your request.

I ended up paying 15,000++ US dollars (my debt) to the hospital.

After all this, I finally confessed the whole thing to my loved ones.

I was comforted by the fact that my loved one not only didn’t blame me but helped and supported me. Unconditionally supported me. I was really comforted.

This feeling may not be understood by everyone, and I don’t hope you will experience it, because it is a bad thing to feel after it has happened.

Every morning before I go to work, I sit in front of the window and look at the sky.

I don’t know what I think about it, but it seems like I think about a lot of things. It’s a strange feeling, but I wouldn’t know how to describe it.

Now the plan：

I know I can’t go on like this, I have a family and the love of my life and I can’t let them down. I had to get myself together!

After all that, I went from being debt-free to being in debt. It’s a really miserable feeling!

Then I just started looking for all kinds of ways to make money on the Internet, so there is also this post for those who are interested.

Is the E-commerce platform COCOOMART real or a scam?

After my two weeks of observation, I want to announce to you that this e-commerce COCOOMART is Real ？ Or Scam？

medium.com

I looked for many ways to make money online and I have tried each of them, for example：

Online part-time jobs(Fiverr,up work) Youtube, Tiktop Cross border e-commerce(Amazon,tiktop,shopee) Playing games to make money Reading emails to make money Watch videos to make money Answering surveys to make money Write articles to make money Vocal, Medium

I’ve tried them all!

In the end, the only ones I’ve stuck with are Medium and Shopee. Of course, I still have a normal working day and every day after work I just think about what articles I should write. I also had problems with my shopee store not getting any orders.

But I can’t give up, I have to keep going even though it’s very tiring and hard.

Because of the above experience, I feel that this world is not just me, I also have my love, and my family, and they all support me.

Advice:

1. If you’re going to invest, please thoroughly research everything; don’t easily trust! 2. Don’t be in a rush to gain profits. What comes quickly can also disappear quickly, and you might end up losing more. 3. To succeed, you must endure trials, hardships, and perseverance!
