Reddit user who posted about losing ₹6 lakh in options trading was met with sympathy and advice on the site. User Zoyan_123 wrote: “I've lost six lakh rupees in options trading. Feel like I shouldn't be alive.

I've lost all my hard-earned money in options. I don't think I can live anymore." In what turned out to be an overwhelmingly kind thread of responses, fellow users on the subreddit r/IndianStreetBets, tried to console the original poster (OP) and shared some of their own blunders with them. Let's take a look.

One Reddit user VenCoriolis advised: “You can earn 6 lakhs, and in fact, FAR more during your lifetime. I mean INR 6,00,000 is just INR 821 per day for 2 years, that's it. Think you cannot earn it? You definitely can.

There are people who take loans and mortgage their houses and properties and then lose all their money. At least you have a better chance of getting out of this. Just don't gamble ever again." User anathi21 appealed to OP to think about his family members, saying: "You can earn another 6 lakhs easily during your lifetime.

Just cut out your stupidity when you earn it. But there will never be another you for your loved ones." Also Read: Excitement and worry as stock options trading booms in India Another user satyanaraynan, emphasised OP's importance, noting: "6 Lakhs is nothing compared to you. You are priceless.

I am sure you can earn that in just a few years." While user peoplecallmedude797 shared his friend's experience, writing: “My friend who was completely broke, jobless borrowed 8 lakhs and did options trading to make quick money. Needless to say, he lost it all but now he's realized his mistake and taken up a job. He is slowly repaying his debt and living fine.
