this can be related to share investments
idea#2
you are treating your sharetrading like a stressful job, you might as well have one!
the difference between an investor and a worker is that the worker has no capital, but if the investor gets no income, though he may not like to dip into capital, he will never starve
many workers become investors
a few investors become workers
usually if you do not borrow you can accumulate from your income
how many sharetraders put aside a savings from their trading?...not many
they see the gains as an increase in working capital and wish to use it as a wider base, which is good while the wins are coming
however, if you have put cash aside (or kept it aside) then you are an investor of some scale or other...
keeping yourself with no liquid...you are a worker

some of my best friends are workers
cheers
