This guy is losing his house, his car and most likely his job
as well as his $800K nest egg.He is young enough to recover, but just barely.
He is 37, his bankruptcy won’t be off the record until he is 45.
So he will have a hard time buying a new hosue before then
and it will take a few years tobuild equity in his retirement etc.He was foolish

“Where I went wrong is I invested heavily in an area that wasn’t my passion and I had a really demanding full-time job so I couldn’t pay attention to nuances”
His real failure was in not quitting that pesky full-time job. If he had only had enough time to pursue the market’s nuances…
Better luck next bubble.
