Cheng bro,

We had the kid only because of my mum. Remember that's Y I asked you if you were lonely growing up as a single child. ;)

Congratulations for escaping from the rat race!

It's encouraging to see someone can retire in his thirties! Hopefully I'm lucky enough to join you in a few year's time ;)

HAHA MM, then you should be a super trader! Who can consistently earn a living by trading!

May I ask what is a good expectation of return % per annum from trading? I'm trying to figure out how much capital is needed be a full time trader. ;)

L bro - I have made so many stupid mistakes, you will laugh when you learn of them. :D

I can't really say for certain the %tage return one can expect consistently. There are good years and so-so years.

As for the amount of money to REALLY start, I guess one has to have enough money set aside for a couple of years of living expenses and then you can use the rest for trading.

One good year can really wash out all the bad years and allow you to make several years of living expense. ;)

The most important is to always cut losses short. Avoiding a major bear market like 2008 with your capital intact is already half the battle won.

If you need $100K to live on yearly, then you better have at least $1MM before you contemplate trading.

If you need only $40K to live on, perhaps you can start considering when you have $500K.

Paiseh, all I am trying to say after all these words is it depends ;)
