for the number of years i have been investing/gambling, i had to lose only an avg of 25k a year to be a mil loss. i included the loss in a home in 1993 and trips to Vegas, but every other dollar i had went into the market with a portfolio of less than 10k today,rent in the ozarks and drive a 20 yr old car. i have enough capital carryover losses to probably last my lifetime. i had many big years in my ins biz and spent big...enjoyed 11 brand new cars, owned 7 new homes....watched 2 being built. not all 'my' losses were mine, i filed two ch7's in the last 16 years....one was for 127k on credit cards. number three may be just around the corner....gotta catch up to Trump...lol
Never had one year since i was 17 that i didn't file and have earned income. i was a smart kid...even started buying us savings bonds like my dad did.....i never should have stopped....might of had a mil by now.
thank God for my social security...just went into my account today...guess i better look for a hot stock on the hub to put a few dollars into and get me a 10 bagger....i am waaaaaaay over due.
