I am 34 and until last year everyone in my family thought I was financially settled. I had a profitable business, two properties and investments. Then I started selling options without understanding how quickly risk could expand during sharp moves.
Over several months I lost around ₹1.2 crore. My father, already retired, offered me his fixed deposits. I refused because I had finally understood that using family money to rescue uncontrolled trading would only continue the cycle.
