Just over 2 years later I am fully ready to trade. I spent the last two years teaching English Monday to Sunday in Hong Kong, working holidays and getting up every morning, I worked some half days but at one point I had every hour of the day filled. I knew if I could just save money I could be free to trade and explore anything I wanted. Now I have completed 3 years with a kinder garden and got myself excellent pay for morning work (I cut the rest of my work off) and now I can come home after that and trade till night and not worry about providing an income from trading as I have a stable job. I'll have Saturdays off and work Sundays as a teacher for the meantime also.. If trading works out I'll cut out the teaching hours..
It it is nice to finally get to this point, I worked until I felt burnt out and then continued to work until I felt uneasy just being outside the classroom.. then I pushed myself further until I finally was getting increasing amounts of chest pains and irregular heart beats a couple times each day..
It was at that point, I said enough is enough, I had had this lifestyle for two years, I cut down my hours and worked on re-plastering my walls and painting them, buying a bed (instead of sleeping on the floor), getting a desktop and table, comfy chair and all that and then I moved money into my old trading account. I met a lovely girl too and have been with her 5 months, I met her just before completing 2 tough years as a teacher and I couldn't be happier. It also motivated me to quit smoking, so before completing 5 years as a smoker.. I quit! and it's coming up to 3 weeks smoke free.
I'll be trading 10 year Australian and US bonds, just like last time.
