I was only making about 50-60k a year (20.00 an hour and a lot of long hours), and i do admit that i flat out wasted a ton of money, probably 10-12k a year trading ( i was single most of that time). Plus the cost of living around here is pretty cheap. My house payment is only $640 a month, so trading a lot and keeping a $600 vehicle payment wasnt that bad. But anyway, i don't want to argue about it. Sorry about sounding like an a$$. Lets put this issue to rest and move on....
