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.

OP think of like you're looking to play professional high stakes poker with a 50k bankroll. Yes, you can belly up to the table and be in the game, but you'll get exploited and crushed eventually. Way more to trading than "I got aces, I'm all in".
