gr8da,
I read this post back when you posted it, but refrained from replying.
I don't know old(rathe roung) you are, but I think you are not as mature to jump into the markets at the pulse of it. Please don't feel offended, we all are young and naive when we just enter. However, you will need some qualities which are necessary for survival. The risk of losing money and piling up more debt is conspicuous, hence in your case, more caution must be exercised. If you want to trade completely by yourself, then I guess you will need one more year to learn the skills.
This is not to discourage you, but your situation is more acute than most and it must be handles with more care.
You will have to develop the right attitude towards money, profit, loss, blood relation ships, stress, etc.
My personal thinking and doing is:
- For pure and true love, go to your parents, wife, children, brother, sister, etc.
- For trading and profit, go to the outside world.
If you mix up the both, you will lose your true love, and accumulate fair weather friends.
As they say, survival of the fittest. In this people, we interact with a lot of people. We should be able to distinguish which people we are going to keep close to us throughout our life, and which people are going to be replaced or be temporary.
