For those that are full time now-how'd you do it?

For those that took the plunge and went full time....how did you do it?

Did you have money saved up, did you have any bills to worry about, what made you decide it was time to quit the full time job? Were you already independently wealthy or did you just take a big chance and grit your teeth?

Just trying to see if there are any suggestions from anyone who's been down the road as to what I should start working towards. Experience of course is the best teacher, but any information I can glean will help shorten the learning curve.....

Currently I work full time in the mortgage industry, making decent money, nothing crazy. I work 8 hrs a day, come home and spend another hour or so looking at charts for EOD data trades....then I devote the next 3-4 hours studying and studying and studying some more. Oh yeah, and spending time with my wife. LOL

Really ready to start working towards devoting full efforts to trading, and I am willing to take the long road to get there...but I would like any advice on making that first step.

THANKS.



Thanks in advance for any info.
