It was the only one that would get me where I want to be. I don't want to work for a living. I want a relatively passive income with limitless potential. I'm a walking buzzword for network marketing and pyramid schemes, but they all fall short of what I want. Not passive enough. Not limitless enough. So don't ask.
Compounding interest is where it's at. If I can make 1000 into 1100, I can make 1,000,000 into 1,100,000 just as easy. Not more effort, not different effort. Not with more people, nor with more knowledge. Exactly the same. That's why I chose trading.
I want to be an elite athlete, a full time dad, and a traveler. Only way to do all that, that I know of, is to make lots of money without a 9-5 or a career of any kind. I've trained athletes, served tables, sold cars, valeted, have been a doorman/bellman, and a private limousine driver, The latter paid the most as it was my own company. But even at 100K per year and a mere 50 hours per week, I still didn't have all my time.
I want my time. That's why I trade. After time, I want the money to hire the best coaches, get the best nutrition, and be around people of like mind so that I can be a great athlete while raising a family. So there you go. It's not about the money. It's about having the money alongside all the time in the world. Neither one is worth much to me without the other. So, trading it is.
