<prompt> Human: Hello, Im considering going to the bank this weekend to try to apply for any sort of loan to buy stocks in a company. Im competently clueless and have no idea what I may be getting myself into. I have two children and am currently married. My wife agrees it is a good idea yet, we live paycheck to paycheck and it does get hard at times, we struggle certain times throughout the year, a reason she believe this is a bad idea.We both smoke and spend a lot of money on things we dont need. Were not financially set to drop this amount of money on something that can turn around and bite us in the ass, I do believe this will only be a gain in the long run but I personally will have to make changes in my own lifestyle to accommodate this new loanCurrently the only debt I have is my vehicle which Im already over paying for because I was naive and choose not to listen to others who were only there to help me. I screwed up and had to learn the hard way and now Im paying for it.Its easy to convince myself this will be a good thing, and financially will be hard, yet Im already paying 300 a month on cigarettes. I feel two years from now when they do go up.. which Im certain they will. I will regret not doing this, and as a constant thing with myself, it really gets me down. This is not the first time Ive made a choice not to listen.. bitcoins when they were a dollar, now sitting at 6400...My apologizes if I have not followed the rules of the board, Im at a loss here, Ive got no one else to back me and all I need is some information and personal experiences. Im not at all a gambler and I feel the stocks are a gamble but I am certain this will be worth it in the end, which if it was why would I make this post. I just need someone to talk to and some advice.For anyone that has been in this situation youre responses will be appreciated. Edit: Its Aurora Cannabis Incorporated, Ive been following them for the past few months reading up on them and I see nothing but it going up. If that helps at all. Already went up a dollar in the past two days and they project it to be going up to around 10 dollars in the next few months.  <response>: Im being honest. I only read the title and the first two sentences. Dont take out a loan for stocks. It is a bad idea. It is no different than borrowing money to gamble. Thats what you are really doing.
