Does somebody have done this?
Living off cushion pillow for the next 5 years, while putting all the concentration and work into trading.
Of course, keeping the expenses at the lowest level, don't have a girlfriend, parties, car, etc. Only cheap rent + food+gym/sport.
Just you alone + numbers and compounding until you're rich (within your needs).
Then, finally, you can live).
P:S.If it will take ~10 years, just begin to withdraw some living expenses money monthly at the end of 5 year period.
If overall it's tot. fail after a 10year period (I highly doubt it), just find a job in a new sector (IT of course) and keep going. And of course completely forget about trading, because it's clear that it's not for you.
