Turning 30 this year and I finally admitted to myself I'm just surviving not actually living. Rent in Brisbane is 1650 a month which eats half my check, groceries and everything else take the rest, and my savings havent grown in ages no matter how careful I am. I've always been curious about the markets so I'm finally committing to learning perps trading. This is my attempt to actually make something with my life instead of waiting around for things to get better. If you've gone from complete beginner to having some consistency in trading whats the biggest lesson that helped you? Really need some real motivation and straight talk from people who've done it.
