My crypto wallet lost more weight in a week than I did during my six-month gym membership—without even sweating. And yes, it’s real money, not Monopoly cash. It all began innocently. I opened an exchange account with grand dreams of financial freedom, my eyes glittering with visions of moonshots, portfolio growth, and Lamborghinis parked in my imaginary driveway.

You know: income, expenses, maybe a pie chart that makes you feel accomplished for a second. But my friend’s approach to financial planning? Oh no. That was something else entirely.
