I was raised to believe that a job was the only way...
In my family, if you don't have a job and you're able to take care of yourself, you're a drug dealer. ๐
If I post that I made $8k in a trade, it will get attention.
People will want to know what I'm doing, they will think that they can do the same.
If you don't have the leverage or discipline to make those kinds of returns, you won't be able to.
Lock in and build!
