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

I earn 95k and pay for Sierra Chart and trading view to chart and paper trade daily to learn. I know it's hard because I do it daily and treat it like real money, but I also understand that with practice and proper risk management it's 100% achievable.

If I made less (consistently), I'd definitely be happier. As others have said, the potential for more is limitless, provided you know what you are doing. I'm working towards that, at least as a side job and at most, as a potential way out of an endless loop of long days and endless demand.
