I need to get my head around it all!Certainly do. I started because I didnt feel comfortable putting my money with banks for a pension, wanted more control of my future. Its a skill like anything else so get interested and stick with it.
Interested to what extent it has improved your work/life balance. What kind of hours are you putting in weekly?think about it this way.
There is enough money in blogging that I quit my full-time job in local government management to do it full time and now work less hours and have a FAR better work/life balance with a higher income
Probably around 10-15 hours a week truth be told but I've paid my dues doing 37hrs a week in a job and 2hrs a night on online work for 6 years!Interested to what extent it has improved your work/life balance. What kind of hours are you putting in weekly?
Thanks. I think the biggest issue is the risk from a secure job, losing pension etc. Were you apprehensive in taking the plunge and leaving your security behind?Probably around 10-15 hours a week truth be told but I've paid my dues doing 37hrs a week in a job and 2hrs a night on online work for 6 years!
Yeah totally. I first dropped to 4 days a week instead of 5 in my job and then about a year later left all together. I was 37 and well, if I didn’t take the risk then I would never do it lolThanks.

@Jon just out of interest (cos i find this fascinating!)- is this your only site or do you have others that contribute to your blogging income?yes as long as you are dedicated to build up to that level of income
@SimplyHow I've been learning how to trade slowly this year, but there is alot to bullshit information out there. can you recommend any resources to learn from?Just for info for everyone in the UK, learn to trade and as long as you use a broker with a Spread Betting account (Ignore the word betting) then any profits, you do not pay tax in the UK.

It's really impressive that you have managed to replace your income this way.I run The Money Shed (forum + blog site)
That's it in terms of blogging income
Sorry I didnt realise you replied. It's more about what your risk is per trade rather than what market. Only risk 1-2% of your balance on any trade.@SimplyHow, what markets are you trading? And what's your edge?
