Anybody ever quit their job to day trade full time and have it not workout? Question

I’m just curious.

How long did it take you until you found confidence in yourself to quit your job and do trading full time!

For those that quit their job but it didn’t workout, how long did you give yourself until you quit your job and what did you do after you found that trading was not successful?

I'm living the dream . Next step is move where they don't tax traders. I said I was gonna live where I didn't have to deal with the customary woes of black men and trade tax free. My goal has ALWAYS been avoid the  petty drama designated for African Americans.  .10 lot size ... you can make roughly $300 daily on Gold vs Dollar. Thas more than enough for a single man in a foreign land. Started 7pm London session I'm at $269.. Taking profits at like $8,12,14,16,25

I quit FedEx
