Hello Everyone,
I am Sanbeer. I am 17 years old and live in Canada. For the past year, I have been getting exposure to the stock, crypto, nft and now Forex Markets. Along with this, I have been working part-time. For my 1st job, I worked for an uncle of mine, it was ok, but it paid below the minimum wage here in my province. Given my father’s unemployment, I looked for another job to bear my own burden financially. I got a weekend night-time job at Tim Hortons. I have been working there for 6 months, and I hate it with my entire existence. I hate it because there is practically no work-life balance in that job; I can’t leave my work at the end of my shift because they get busy and give me extra tasks. Also, I have to study about the job almost every day for a minimum of 15 minutes. For example, I have an exam in like 2 days, and they will be like, “Hey Sanbeer, you must finish this 2-hour video training by the end of today”, times like this really piss me off. Along with this, there is also workplace toxicity.

Anyways, with all this being said, I have now realized that working a regular job is not for me. I have been taking steps so that I don’t Have to work for money in the future.

I started trying to trade(really, it was “investing”) Forex 2 months ago, needless to say, I blew a couple of accounts, and now sitting with around 700 USD loss, I thought I could get rich quick through this without effort and Boy, I was so wrong.

Now, I am trying to my utmost best to learn about Forex, and as such, I am here. I am going to give it my all!

I wish you all success, and thanks for reading about my journey so far!
