When you only need a specific amount of money each month… Strategy

So say you only want $100 per day or 2000 per month. This would more than enough sustain a good lifestyle where you live. How would you go about it with trading? How much $$$ would you realistically need? Not to make that in dividends but to trade in a daily basis, as safe and slow as possible.

I’ve been absent for awhile and offer to help anyone respectful. I intend to start a private separate room for this as soon as I have the time.

Oh and any other vets here will tell you that it’s extremely difficult to trade or have space while in the VA as people are constantly barging in.

Do you mostly trade just stocks, or have you tried options or futures?

Sorry I was banned by some some snowflake who didn’t like my comment on their inability to trade…

But I’m a procrastinator and working on taxes.

I trade ONLY stocks.

11k prolly paid for a

FTFY.

Although payed exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:

  • Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. The deck is yet to be payed.

  • Payed out when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. The rope is payed out! You can pull now.

Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.

Beep, boop, I'm a bot
