It's been a wild ride of dedication, hardship, loss, perseverance, and regret. I really wish her the best. Her story scares me enough that I might learn something from her experience.
You know, the first stock I bought was 1 share of Facebook in 2012. It cost me $19 and I’ve kept it as a sentimental thing. I looked at it today and it was over $785.
