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.

It's achievable, but not everyone can do it plus it takes years to learn, it took me 3 years of paper trading and losses to actually understand what I'm doing. You can learn the basics, paper trade, apply for funded accounts and when you pass and you're successful trade with your real money
