You know it is a constant struggle to trade stocks when you have a job that pays $8.75/ hr. Had to move back in with my parents for the second time in 2 years. Last time I saved $1000 and tried to live on my own and that lasted for 1 year. My truck nickel and dimes me death, it's just so frustrating that I have no control of my finances. But I'm not giving up because the knowledge I've gained over the past year, listening and studying Tim's videos, reading countless blog posts, analyzing charts relentlessly, is going to pay off sooner or later. If anyone out there understands the vicious financial cycle, it's me. I put myself in this predicament because of my life choices when I was younger, so I only have myself to blame. But like I said, I'm not giving up. Everyone at my job tells me I work too hard, but I like getting things done. It doesn't pay well, but all I have to do is be patient and save. I constantly watch the market and keep up with traders, its just a matter of time.So if you're struggling like I am to save, believe you me, I understand. Life can be a bitch. Don't give up though. Fight to the bitter end.
Robinhood offers commission free trades, great for small accounts, with other brokers 20 bucks to enter and exit will make it way harder, even to breakeven. check out these recent trades of mine, one with about $140 bucks and the other with about $280. Both done via robinhood on small practice positions. http://profit.ly/1MsR3J http://profit.ly/1MsSLh Just got to focus on the right setups that work for you
Go to college and max out your loans go all in on trading and leave country if it doesn't work out. That's my plan anyways. Kappa Pride also http://bit.ly/1UxKLaJ
Im no guru but I've done it tough in life too. Study trading in your spare time but focus on creating a better income. Always look for other jobs online and even send company's your resume. Be really proactive here! Resume & job interviews should be top of your prioritys and something will pop up. I found IT help desks a good way to get career skills.
Look at jobs out of town (Be willing to move) and live as a minimalist (you don't need smartphones, fancy car, designer clothes or buy take-away). When you can afford to trade $2000 or $5000 then you're nearly ready. Paper trade ($10k) and take it seriously. When you start doing well try actual trading. Good luck. Its a start.
