“FOMO” — or “Fear Of Missing Out” — is an ugly social motivator. As an introvert it’s caused me to overextend myself on many an occasion, and its generally considered a negative impact on our mental health.

I propose that it’s time we name and discuss its grotesque younger brother: FIMO.
Fuck… I Missed Out

Fuck, I Missed Out on...
...BTC in the early 2010’s. And again in 2018. And again in 2020.
...the stock market bull run after the crash in 2008. And again in 2020.
...the 2021 $GME short squeeze.
And I will miss out on more as time goes on.
Why?
Because I’m poor. I don’t have $1,000 to put into stocks every month. I don’t have $100 to put into stocks every month. I could probably swing $10.
What can I do about it now?
Hell if I know. I’m just complaining before I start putting away $10/month for my retirement, or until I need to buy tires for my car.
I wanted to get the “F.I.M.O.” acronym out to the world. Enjoy.
