## Caption

When people think of gambling addiction, they usually picture feverish bets on DraftKings or online poker. But day trading, which allows investors to buy and sell stocks easily (and legally) online, can be just as addictive and destructive (the vast majority of day traders are unprofitable). In the latest edition of #MyTwoCents, personal-finance columnist Charlotte Cowles hears from a woman in her 30s who discovered that her husband lost $300,000 — including $160,000 from the sale of a business she had started and sold — by day trading over the course of about two years. 

Read her story, including how she extricated herself from the mess, at the link in bio.
