I'll be completely straight up with you, I don't particularly have much thought about my retirement plans.

Again it's not responsible I see that but that's my line of thought.
Then change your line of thought. Planning for retirement is important, you're still going to be you when you're 60 years old. By saving a health amount of money now, you won't have to worry about retirement as you get closer to retirement age.

Hey maybe you shouldn't cancel your car insurance if you're going to be driving? What happens if you get into an accident?

This is what you sound like.

Since you seem to understand now that what you're doing is gambling, that's within an acceptable threshold of idiocy assuming you don't have any high-interest debt that that money could go to pay off instead.

Well let me say this because I know you're way more educated financially than I am so I don't want to make it seem like I'm dismissing you. What would be a better plan for the $300 I would potentially be investing into this company?
Well if

Also do not put Nintendo stock on a credit card.
This is correct, you should be buying it on margin.
