I don't believe this story for one bit.
The dude can trade a personal account for a living and make more than he does "delivering pizzas". He doesn't even have to be that great atrader.
Story smells like $$%$@%@!.

QFT
and funny how we're supposed to pity these rich people that are in debt trying to keep the luxurious style of lives they've been living.
they can prolly sell everything and still be set for life in a lower middle class suburb.......but thats too "beneath them"

Well if the story is true, I don't feel sorry for dude at all.
He or his family has a spending problem.
In 2004 both my parents together didn't make half of what dude made, both lost their jobs that year, we lived on savings and now we are doing good.
Making 15 million in 20 years and only saving 500 thousand? Seriously?

^^^i was going to say the same thing. due should have been putting in like at least 300k into savings each year.
but it's true what they say, "the more you make, the more you'll spend."
it just happens that way.

Now he understands what a dollar really means.
No pity at all, we all make mistakes and he made one, move on and live life.
And story does sound fishy...with a College Degree, he could atleast get something than delivering Pizza.

agreed. what respectable trader starts his own hedgefund w/o securing investors first?
that's exactly what I was thinking, how can an experienced trader not figure out some way to make more than min wage??

It's not like dude was making $750k straight out of undergrad/MBA for 20 years.
Either way, I don't feel bad for him.

I give props to this dude.
He knows he can start over.. he put his pride to the side, and instead of whining about it and complaining. He went out and got a job and earning that paycheckwhile he regroups and gets a better job.
Even though he didnt put enough into his savings -really dumb-, but he took a risk and tried to open his own firm... nothing wrong with that.
