Back in September, I decided to drop nearly $600 on a crypto miner. This was before I discovered MJs books, and was fixated on the "passive income" and "acquire cash flow assets" type of stuff. Keep in mind I was entering my senior year of HS so $575 was a pretty big chunk of cash.. anyway to the results.

After 10 months of this machine running, and spending a $575 upfront investment, I am left with...

$67.
FML.
Oh wait!
Did I mention I got scammed out of $600 buying another miner around the same time, one that never arrived and is still marked as "shipped" to this day?
Ugh.
