Currently, I'm working off applying software in my own way to make money from investing in stocks and trading currencies. It's pretty fun and so far, I've been making an overall profit. I believe in diversifying and not risking it that much while looking for huge profits from taking a long-term position. This just allows me comfort without having to constantly monitor it. I'm not a fan of micromanaging trades and despite people saying you can learn to make a lot of money off of doing, it's not worth the trade off for me. I would rather collect a huge payday after letting it sit there long term and doing other fun things worth my time!
For the time being to earn some income, I've realized that I enjoy being a software engineer and willing to stress out about it to bring home something and then invest a portion of it. I'm willing to spend a lot of time and put in the effort to the best of my ability on a daily basis.
