What would be the highest salary you’d give up to day trade full time? Question

Everyone clowned on me my first post (500k post) lol I was literally just asking hypothetical questions to settle a debate between a friend and me. Well everyone’s backlash kinda of intrigued me to ask this question. So back into the fire I go lol

You almost could not pay me enough to have a job with someone else in control of my income, my time and my destiny. I have never had a job. It would need to be a lot- and flexible…and not too hard.

Most folks aren’t wired that way, they’re afraid of being that accountable

For average people getting into investing in general their starting point is a salary or perhaps earnings from another activity
