so here is the thing...
i was made redundant in may of this year, was in no rush to start a job so decided to have a dabble spreadbetting shares, as i have traded shares for a good few years.
to cut a long story short over the last two months i have been trading full time and to be fair, making a fair old whack week in week out, that when taking a daily average of income x by 52 weeks a year...would be the equivelant of a chunky salary...
problem is...its not guaranteed, and its not considered the "norm" to sit in your pants all day trading shares.
the dilemma is i have been applying for jobs as it seemed lke the right thing to do (ie work a 9-5) and am due to start a new job tuesday. the money is good (albeit about a third of what i have been earning over the last two months trading) its guaranteed income, its the norm, its stability.
so what the feck do i do...carry on trading, no commute, loads of time with the kids, chance of earning a stack..but the chance of it all going tits up
or commute to birmingham day in day out for a long career, pension and decend ish salary...
i am looking for rash opinions and thoughts
