The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).

Notes -
It'll bounce. I bought a batch late 2021 that spent all of 2022 25% down, and didn't break even until the end of 2023. We're not even close to that yet.
Nvidia's up almost 7% today alone, and is basically flat on 6 mth.
Throwing everything in all at once always runs the risk of hitting a local peak. Sometimes the tells aren't reliable either: the surge of redditors and streamers talking about playing the market last year made me pull out early and miss a lot of recent gains.
