Coincidentally, I was just thinking about you yesterday & wondering how things were going. Sounds like it's been a rocky year--sorry to hear that. Do what you need to to take care of yourself. The death of anyone close can help refocus us on what our priorities are. Our time is short, and while there are bills to be paid, work isn't typically the most important thing.
Appreciated my friend and thanks for the thoughts. Our time is indeed short. My priorities haven't changed, I just had to put them on ice while I tried to get a handle on things. We all go through the mill at some point in our lives, this year was my time. Hopefully it is drawing to a close now. It has been a depressive state and I know only too well that depression has all sorts of knock on effects including a serious depletion of motivation and a total lack of clarity (I've felt like I've been unable to think straight and concentrate for months now which has been very frustrating). In fact I was beginning to wonder if I would be able to think straight again. However the fog lifted a week ago so it is time to put one foot in front of the other again and follow my roadmap.
Trading is a blast! Don't you need some capital to get started with it though? I know you are living on the money you saved?
My friend is still doing well currently earning around $2000 a day after tax. I decided that it is not for me however for several reason. One; I don't have the interest in the subject matter that he does. Two; he is putting in 8 hours a day, 6 days a week and I want to build something much more passive. Three; I believe that my venture can easily scale beyond 2k per day. Four; as you say it requires a strong bank roll but there was ways around that if I chose that route. I really just want to pursue my one objective and stick with that so as not to get distracted.
