Suddenly, you’re 26.
Out of college now.
Got the new corporate job. Apartment in the city. Met a girl and it’s getting serious. Joined the pickleball league.
You’re happy. It’s everything you wanted, right?
The steady paycheck, your own crib, no more useless schoolwork.
But every morning lacks excitement. It’s already mundane.
40 more years of this…wake up, 9-5, gym, netflix, die?
But it’s everything that “younger you” had hoped for.
Or was it?
At 26, you feel different.
Feels like a blank canvas…on your own, no parents, no teachers, no responsibilities.
Your life is now solely based on your decisions. All on you, kid.
My advice is to play big…and play big right f*cking now.
Because next thing you know, you’re 45. In the same city, same job, same bars…thinking “if only I would’ve”.
So pick up the canvas and picasso that sh*t right now.
@mainachad I want to add a comment to your post. You mentioned that you know how to sit back and wait for your trade, which is undoubtedly a great skill and gives an advantage in trading. You also mentioned the crazy + PnL you create, which distorts reality, and I agree with that.
@mainachad Many people here are risking what they have, trying to get out of rat races; each trade is a potential step closer to that. So just sitting back when you have nothing to pay rent this month isn’t easy, especially when all you know is how to click.
