Hey all, brand-spanking new to Forex. And trading. And markets. And anything having to do with the “money” tab on any news site. I currently work 40 hours a week in a call center, which is slowly but surely killing me.
After doing the same thing for over a decade, nothing was changing. My father recently retired and tried his hand at the stock exchange, which led him to Forex. He suggested I look into it. My scam-alert went off the chart. You mean you can make money by exchanging it? That sounds like the grifter down by 7/11. But the more I look into it, the more excited I get. Not because of the “get rich quick” sound of it. It is easy to get dollar signs in your eyes. But because it is a real thing, that just requires a lot of work like anything else.
Being a single income family of 5, it is time for a change. Do I expect to get rich quick? Uh, no. My goal is to make $100/month after 6 months, including a minimum of 2 months of solid demo practice. $100 is gas money. And from everything I see, if you have the dedication and the patience, it will pay off.
So, from the middle-of-nowhere in Illinois, hi! Thanks for being an awesome community to start with, and I hope to one day be able to provide advice of my own to other newbies.
