Hello . . . my screen name is brookela and I live in Williamsport, PA (USA). I am a 72-year-old female and have been interested in forex since I first heard about it, maybe 15 years ago. I’m a slow starter, and a procrastinator, and the books I bought on various forex subjects are in storage 150 miles away. But I’ve opened a demo account and now I’m trying to get some of the basics of forex to stay in my aged brain long enough to make some practice trades and see what happens.
I’m not looking to get rich, but making a little extra cash couldn’t hurt. My older daughter and her younger daughter and I live in a former crack-house I bought here, close to said older daughter’s older daughter. who lives just down the highway. My daughter has not had a regular job with benefits since her job as a Comcast Dispatch Supervisor was moved 164 miles away from where we lived in Lehigh County PA, and she decided not to apply for one of the supervisor spots. She’s making a pittance using her beauty school license cutting hair in a salon - no insurance, no over-time, no benefits at all. At my age you probably figured that I’m already retired, collecting social security and a small pension from my last job of 31 years.
The economy is tough all over, but we’re allowing the Universe to provide an up-tick in our lives. In the meantime, I’ll just boogie through the wonderful classes available from BabyPips and see whether it’s possible to teach an old dog new tricks.
Bright blessings,
brookela
