Taken from an investing forum:
After working for 19 years, 9 years for people ranging from sole
proprietor to MNC and local listed company and 10 years in my own
manufacturing business. I call it quit in working life. Be it
working for the companies or working like a horse for your staffs.
Although I have never been in a situation that I cannot get a job.
in my opinion, Engineers makes bad businessman, getting a partner
with financial background will helps.
The fact is that for some is truly not easy to get a job in your
45s+ and drawing the same salary you use to have. Even though you
may have a degree. Jobs are like foods on the supermarket shelves,
they also have expiry dates. Just like our PM GCT's job is going to
expiry soon, what make you so special that your job wouldn't
expired and worst if it is prematurely.
I ask that forumers keeps an open mind. You can be jobless and
still making money. I am only in the market for just over a year
and have fine tune a strategy that will allows me to be jobless and
still making a living. However forex has it own rewards and risks
too and it is may not be for everyone. It is more of an art, either
you have it or not.
I know what is it like to be in the mid 45s+ and having career
crises. You don't have to believe me. Take it with a pinch of salt
and test it out yourselves with virtual money before you jump into
the band wagon.
It quite easy to make USD100-200 a day in a few hours. Is that
enough? And you don't pay tax for it.
We work to live and NOT live to work. Don't you agreed?
