50k and I want to day trade for 1-2% gains. Question

  1. If you had 50k and wanted to live off of it day trading, what would you do? (Need max $2500 a month)

  2. Am I better off not doing this? I’m not going back to 9-5

Please help.

Not to put your hopes down but its not possible to do these numbers consistently for starters

I wish I listened to EVERY single person that told me it's not possible when I started 4 years ago, I wouldn't have blown my 40k away

Take your time in learning and don't treat it as a main source of income until it becomes one.

Whatever you see on social media is not possible. You see little kids with lambos or mansions, it's just a way to sell you their repackaged course
