I do live my life. It could be better financially than what it is, and I definitely don't need a million to get there. As far as depriving my self of something - I just mean ONE THING - maybe as a goal or reward.

I doubt that very seriously. Boring? You know how many people I could give my time to if I never had to work for a living? I think it would be fun.

The building is now. The learning is now. This is an exciting journey for me. I think it is GREAT to dream.

LOL - I like how you think!!!

Mmmmm... thats sounds good. I think thats the first place I'm gonna go with my son when I get back home this Wednesday. I've been in Hawaii working for the last 3 1/2 months. I haven't found a Dairy Queen anywhere on this island! They have shaved ice, but its not the same. Gotta have a dipped cone!!

I think everyone in this forum have dreams of trading and making their millions. We are all here, afterall, to find financial freedom. There is going to be a lot of heartache along the way, that's for sure. And let's face it, a lot of people were just not cut out to be trading, it takes a special person to fail multiple times, and keep coming back for more. And for others, they need to learn the biggest lesson from trading and use it, cut their losses and find another profession. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. I've gone back to get a job when I knew I didn't have an edge that is sustainable or lucrative enough. And edges just doesn't appear out of nowhere, you have to be in the right place in the right time, or a moment where you stumble on something, sometimes it takes a long time and have the right connections. Sometimes, it's just pure luck. Sometimes, it takes a lot of screen time. I'm fortunate enough to be in the right place and know the right people at the right time.

That's the thing with trading, it's not about putting in the time, you can put in 5 years and still get nothing. Where the next guy can come along in 5 minutes and find a exploitable edge. So it is a very frustrating endeavor.

My 1st million? I would diversify into other investment tools not relating to stocks or forex. LOL. I always think like a businessman nowadays.

As long if money is your goal your are never going to make that million true trading.
Only the moment that you can let go of the element money...you have a good chance that you can make it.

I'm shure you know about cause and effect...
Only when you want to become a good trader (the goal or cause) you will earn good money (the effect).
If you try to earn good money ( the effect) you will never become a good trader (the cause or the goal).
The sequence is important that you need to place the cause or goal before or in front of the effect.

LOL - thats what I'm talkin' 'bout! I was just relating to someone else that maybe I have the 1M goal just to prove myself that it can be done. But, once achieved, it wouldn't end there. I'd probably diversify too. But aside from that, I still just don't know what that something special would be after I did it. Could be something really simple. Maybe finally try a DIFFERENT flavor at DQ and live a little? j/k

if everyone knew a person who made a million from let say $1000 please share with me ......

Money does not buy happiness or permanent contentment. Most people that are rich are not satisfied and many are not very happy. Can money buy eternity? - No! Why is the goal to be a millionaire so important when our lives are like a breath of air, short lived, and then it is gone. More important than being a millionaire is what awaits us when our time is up on this planet (Which could happen tomorrow by a serious accident or even a heart attack). As the Bible says "What is it worth to gain the wealth of the world, but end up losing your soul?"

What is more important, money or eternity?? Ask yourself this truthfully - Do you have the guarantee, the assurance, the confidence in your heart that if you die today that you would go to Heaven?? Yes or No. This answer is a million times more important than money or the worship of money.

Let this be the focus of your priority in life - If you said No or are not sure or have an attitude of disbelief about Heaven then I would suggest that you, in a quiet place as soon as possible, ask God with sincerity to present proof of the existence of Jesus and the truth of Heaven and Hell - Then wait for God to reveal this truth to you that without Jesus, all the money in the world will not save you from eternal destruction. Making money is a game at best - Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Your Soul is no game. Without God's help through Jesus, you are going to lose for sure and never make it to Heaven. Contemplate this versus getting rich. Let's face it, we cannot take any worldly possessions with us. Our Soul lasts forever - Where it (each of us) ends up is determined by who becomes top priority in your life.

^^ But it doesn't hurt to have a mil in the bank.

I'll let you know if it happens to me. It may take a few years, but I'm a patient man! Everything I've learned in life and in my job came from HKU (Hard Knocks University).
