🤱 Ex-Corporate → Full-Time SAHM
📊 Dividends + Options for income 💰

[Mel @MelTradeOptions]

Hi, I’m Mel. 👋
I just traded my corporate title for "Full-Time SAHM".

But I’m not just managing the household, I’m managing a portfolio. My goal is to generate $25,000/yr in supplemental income through options. 📉📈

I don't gamble on short term call options. I’m a premium seller at heart.

My core strategies:
• The Wheel (CSP/ CC)
• Poor Man's Covered Call
• Credit Spreads & Iron Condors
• Risk management > Everything else

This account is my raw, unfiltered journal. I’ll be posting my weekly/monthly P&L, my mistakes (there will be many), and the reality of trading while juggling kids' school schedules, prepping home cooked meals and sticking to my workout regime.

If you’re a parent, a trader or just building a side income... let’s connect. 🤝

Follow along to see if I hit the $25k goal this year! 😊

@DividendMil I totally agree with you. And I seriously don't know how to explain to my kid the reason why they need to learn trigo in school. I can't tell them that the only reason is just so they can pass their exam.

@Dom_Investing Nice! I get to do the same in May. 😆

[Mel @MelTradeOptions]

@JoshTradeOption Yeah been waiting for some red to enter CSPs. And a good chance to roll up some calls.

@wheelhousej0e Exactly

[Mel @MelTradeOptions]

The most expensive word in trading? "HOPE"
In a business, a "bad employee" is a drain on the team.
In trading, a "bad position" is a drain on your capital and your mental bandwidth.

Most traders fail because they get emotionally attached to their losers.
Adding more, rolling for "free", and refusing to admit the market's story has changed.

The Reality Check:
- Attachment is a cost.
- Hope is not a strategy.
- Efficiency is the goal.

I trade a business, not a diary.

@MoneyQuotesX The truth is most people only care about their own success and how u can help them succeed, not your success.
