Fuck me, my AAS fund decreased so much

[IndividualMan]

I bought BTC back at 30k and at 50k, 300 bucks each.
That is how I financed my AAS habit, with great success. Now that BTC is down, and Many purchases, including ancillaries etc. have been made, I would have to actually spend money from my bank account to acquire new gear. Not willing to do that : (

Sad times. Will have to continue doing basic cycles for a while.

(health fund & jano testing fund are a seperate thing btw, I am not taking directional bets on my ability to monitor my health)

i mean you can just buy cheap raws since you homebrew and make cheap gear, only big expense is some ancilliaries needed(they're cheap tho) and regular bloodwork.

thats truly the only things you need

true, but I always bought the raws off that initial investment I made back in the day. Kind of hurts to touch my bank account for this hobby.

The ancillaries are a big part of the expenses too (more than 80% of expenses are ancillaries atm), might have to reevaluate my regimen.

i mean you need ancilliaries for health. no blast without.

either trt or get off. no bullshitting you, this shit costs alot of money and mostly food is the biggest expense. if you're not willing to invest alot of money into it its just not worth it. unless you do trt just for general quality of life

i think alot of people dont ask themselves and just blast away with no real goal, do you want to be a pro bodybuilder or just abuse drugs to feel good?

you gotta clear your own thoughts on this and decide the path forward

Food money is no problem
(cheap where I am from, 5k cals/ day can be had for less than 14 EUR using lean meats, vegetables, and easily digestable carbs)
Ancillary money is no problem. (albeit it is the highest exense atm, at around 7 EUR/day for a full BP, Statin, Kidney and liver stack, + moda)
(unless I REALLY go hard on orals or Tren, which I am not planning on doing)
Bloodwork money is no problem.
(I have a pretty cheap hookup, they got everything for 10-15 bucks max, except High sens E2)
Big GH money would be the only issue for me, but thats a problem for future me.

I dont really want to be a bodybuilder. I will probably go on stage a few times, 2-3 seasons, in my later 20s, (and hopefully do well) just to get the experience, but it is not something I will dedicate my entire life to, especially not my 30s and 40s. those will be spent cruising on a generous TRT dose and enjoying life and the physique i will have built until then.


But planned blasts for the next bit of my 20s will probably be limited in dosage due to my fun money going down.
The path forward is clear, but the climb wont be as high as I had hoped. No peaking at 120kgs lean. Maybe not even 110. Probably better and healthier that way, but it still stings.

IMO best you can do from here is solve the problem the other way around. Increase your income and improve yourself in all other aspects and use the discipline and grit from bodybuilding in work and business.

I am a full time student working an additional unpaid 30h a week in a lab, I dont have much more in me.
I will get a (paying) job asap, but that wont be feasible until next year.
At that point I will definitely have enough money coming in to run whatever stuff i want to take.
