Maybe it's because I started in another career, and had to work a long time to reach my goal of trading full time, but I am proud of being a full-time trader. After I drop my kids off at school in the morning, and am driving back home into my neighborhood, I see lots of people driving out for work. Every time I think, "hahahah!! suckers!!" Sometimes I actually do it out loud. I love what I do, and the woman that married me loves me because I am not a drone. I think generally only stupid people would not envy what I do. For folks just starting out, you just have to suck it up for a while and be humble until you reach your goals. And don't be stupid and lose what you've accumulated. Ever.

I tell people I don't trade anymore, almost nobody believes, they think I just made it and conceal the truth.
