Trading is marathon with brief sprints; supplement income through podcasts, consulting, side gigs.

And most people are not even close to that point before they go full time. If you really want it, you can do it while working a job. Trading is a marathon, but there's brief periods where you sprint. A lot of the rest of the time, you're just jogging along, keeping pace. You can absolutely work a job, do other things. Twitter is horrible for this. It's the one social media platform where it's like, if you make money doing anything other than trading. rating your scammer. And I'm like, I think you'd be surprised that many of the very successful and rich people on here still do lots of other things. They have podcasts, they have side gigs, they do consulting, and why not? As long as you're not, in my opinion, like a morally screwing people over for additional income, get your bag, however you can, use that to fund your lifestyle so you can keep your trading account focused on compounding over time.
