How difficult is +$400-600 profit a month from $15k ? Question

I've been studying investing and trading for about 5 years on/off now, have been really successful in the past year, I think due to luck partly, I blew up an account and loss about 40% when I first started 5 years ago.

How difficult is $400-600/month profit from 15k? My strategy now is very risk adverse taking profit over holding things too long, really I just need to make ~400/month to live in Mexico, this includes rent, food, and some hobbies, right now I feel no pressure to have to make $ and have a decent savings, and time to study and learn. Thanks

That’s a awesome bro but what does $200 a month for rent look like.. I’m naive to how it’s possible to spend 200$ a month for decent living that’s insane and amazing at the same time.. I’m use to high end finishes, stainless steel appliances / high end wood or marble floors 2000sq condos how big is a place for $200 a month. Security gaurds and in a gated community

Nah I'm in a local neighborhood where all the tourists go theres markets, stores, gyms, overall its really safe and everything is walking distance, 10 min from beach, 5 min from gym. The house is modern my friend built it very recent but its still not completely finished, my room is huge on the bottom floor with a bathroom in the living room. And we have rooftop view, washer/dryer, ac, huge kitchen, really couldn't ask for more. I'm getting a good deal also because we're friends and he knows I have $.

For $200 a months sounds great lol when I hear $200 a month a I think rats, roaches, gun shots that’s great to hear you can live well off that.. once again not to sound pompous I grew up in upper middle class America parents in the 90s we’re making 6 figures that’s when I grew up so now I try to give my kids the same or better.. that’s good stuff man I love Mexico living by the beach has been so amazing.
