Michael,
That was exactly the type of advice I have been looking for..Thank you.
I currently live VERY cheap (compared to the avg middle aged person, I can survive with about 8k a year) so sometimes I question if it has skewed my estimations of money needed for when I graduate, so its nice to be brought back to reality. It makes me realize I wouldn't mind living a little better.
I think you are correct on the additional bills and expenses..eating right, gyms..health insurance..
So, I think you are right and have cleared some things up..Unless I have some insanely great year and pull some magic 100+% gain I will probably need to be looking for a real job.
As for the girlfriend/wife thing..I do have a girlfriend..she starts med school next year if everything works out right..so I have my fingers crossed on being a stay at home husband perhaps..
Anyway, you brought out some really good points Michael, I really think that I should be waiting to get upto around 100 before I bother making any big decisions about trading..because when it comes down to it I will probably start working for around 35-45..It might not be worth it to trade straight out of college when I can be building my funds while working for a couple years..
Thanks for the great post!!
Dave
