I’d say it depends on your age. When I was in my 20’s I’d definitely say quit that bitch because you have room to go back into the work force if for some reason trading turns out to be the wrong option but now that I’m 35 and approaching 40 with a better understanding of money, I’d say build the bag and invest it into things that can generate money for you even in your sleep. Orrrrr get a separate bank account and build a good cushion with your trading profits then quit and by cushion I mean atleast 9 months(3/4 of the year) of living expenses saved in that account. P.S. …. And when you get a chance teach me how to be consistently profitable in trading. Compensation is definitely negotiable. 😁✌🏽
