Managing money for a full-time income is brutal
The only way I made that transition? Living way below my means. Cutting out everything I wanted at the time.
I kept my monthly bills under $2,200. I lived as frugally as possible. Worst case? I’d crash on someone’s couch.
But when you’ve got a family to feed? That pressure changes everything. You can’t just “cut back” and live like you did when you were 20.
That’s why I believe if you’re going full-time, you need something else. A passion project. A business. Something outside of trading.
Even though most of my income comes from trading, I don’t sit at the charts all day. If I didn’t have my Discord community, I’d still be building something—
1️⃣ To hedge my income.
2️⃣ To keep my mind off the market.
Because here’s the truth—
The more time I spend in the market, the worse I trade.
