After years of saving and investing, I’m done

I’ve been following this sub and other financial subs since I was 14 which is when my dad died. I was young and immature, and I was scared. So I decided to learn how to take care of myself if I were ever on my own. I found Subs like this, r/askteenboys, r/relationship_advice, and r/redscarepod to name a few. <br><br>I saved a bit of money from my dad and his life insurance. I saw Black Tuesday and the recession coming, so I took my savings and just kept it in cash for a couple of years. I took most of it later to invest in index funds and a couple of stocks. I was right to save my money, and I started making more than I had at the end.<br><br>After the crash and the recovery, I took out most of my money, and was able to get myself another college degree. And now I saw the next crash coming, and I took out most of my savings again, and saved it. <br><br>I am not going to explain how I knew it was coming, you can read my old posts about it. But now I realize why I’m doing this. Subs like this say that the idea is to live a comfortable life on your own terms, but when I took out my money from my account, I realized why I’m doing this. <br><br>I’m doing this because when my dad was sick, my mom only had him to focus on, and I was scared and left on my own. This is because my family has a lot of sick people, and my dad was right behind my grandma in the line of cancer. I knew he was going to die and I was scared.<br><br>My grandma was dying for years, but my mom still had time for me. But when she actually died, my dad got sick, and my mom only had him to take care of which made me scared. So I’m doing this because I want to see my mom who is 80 now still healthy and happy. I want to see my sister get married and have kids. And when all that’s done, I’m going to die.<br><br>My Sub, my friends, my family. I love you all, but I’m done.
