Money didn’t buy my happiness
My names Jules and I’ve been trading propfirms since I was 16, I’m 19 now I swapped around from FTMO FOREX then I got into futures when I was 17 on top step, now I have 2 LFA’s 2026 payouts I got about 630k in profit, not really the point, I always dreamed of these big Miami Estates , Fast cars, ya know the dream? Well after accumulating all of it I found I didn’t want a single one of those, in the process I killed myself emotionally, happiness drifted out when money found its way in, not to say money can’t bring great things, but I got tired of the vision, I want something I can’t have, I want a family and all these other things, money can’t buy those. I had to understand that people aren’t a market, you can’t predict what happens around you if you don’t know it, I became too comfortable, just me, my music and my PnL. My advice to traders that are striving to become profitable and make your living off it, don’t live on the market, you have a life, you can go outside, it’s okay to not make money if your making memories for the day. Don’t be counter productive but don’t be so productive you forget how to be yourself and kick back and relax. Any thoughts?
