‘He turned out to be crazy, but I graduated college debt free’: TikToker Shares How Her Obsession With a Crush Afforded Her Financial Literacy in the Stock Market

When some people fall, they fall hard. Obsessive thoughts, the desire to see them, know their entire story, and walk around in their mind can cloud any dreamy girl’s usually 20/20 vision. But how far is too far? And is obsessing over a crush really all that bad?

Take it from cassidyjoys, Tiktoker who shares her real experience in crushing so hard it afforded her to make so much money in the stock market that she graduated college debt free. Story goes like this: she would sit behind her crush in class and observe his laptop screen. She saw he was always looking up the stock market, trends, graphs etc. She decided to invest her free time in gaining all the knowledge she could on stocks and trading, just to impress him. Then she’d sit in front of him in class to show off all that she’s learned. 

One day, her premeditated planning worked and he messaged her. Though the story ends with him being a nymphomaniac and dropping out of the semester, she gained some real life lessons that continue to benefit her till this day. See, not all obsessions turn on badly…sometimes they work out in our favor. 

So I ask again: are we crazy, or are we smart? Think about it.
