Do you want easy money?

Good morning to you all,

Today I want to share just a quick 2 minutes story about something that just happened at the office. There is guy who is visiting us and as soon as 20 minutes has passed he talking about how he has made $20 USD into $99 USD. Ok I'll stop there.

_{I have never hold so much money in my life and it was went I swap money for a house. It was about $10 000 USD ( not the complete payment) but it was the down payment required for close the deal.}

Usually when you start seeing some greens or profit you will overreact and sometimes it is just a volatile situation. When I started here in steemit I saw my account value from ~$150 USD to more than $2K USD and then currently sitting over $700 USD. How much have I earn/lost and invested?

Pretty much the only amount I've invested so far is $250 USD. I've invested time, I've learn a lot and I've also expand my network and even made few friends which I'm really happy about. But how much have I lost: $0 USD maybe electricity and internet costs and but over all the experience have been quite positive.

What does this story has to do with Forex? People will try what ever to get rich fast or die trying and I really mean everything. I've been in steemit more than a year now and I feel the journey has just begun. There have been some articles saying that if you start saving X amount of money since you are 20 years old you will end up millionaire and that is 100% true, problem with that way of thinking is the following:

• You will never have enough if you are not happy with what you already have.
• You will not wait 40 years to be a millionaire, in fact you want that to happen almost immediately or overnight. Let's face it if you need to buy 1 lottery every day that cost you $1 each over a year period chances that you will complete the year are less likely to happen, but then those who persists and keep doing it eventually hit the jackpot.
• I'm not really into #Forex and I truly hope those of you that like that will keep doing it long enough that will eventually hit the jack pocket.
  My problem with the guy story is not being honest, he has just 1 month experienced he started with $200 USD and lost $180 USD, then he is recovering from $20 USD to $100 USD over a period of 15 days and I'm sure there are faster ways to get $200 USD doing some other stuff. People will just tell you the love story and the success part of the story not the whole thing. People do not want to struggle a bit to achieve something and they want instant gratification. I know some friends that do #Forex for a living and they are cautious, they don't like to brag about the wins but because they are embarrassed about the looses as well, thing is that they get to know the game and keep on doing it while living .

Te key part of whatever effort or project is to live it, this means early steemit adopters have been living it and they have been patiently waiting for the moment to happen, along the way they have learned, improve and expand network things that no one can take away. I remember someone telling me that you don't need to attach to money because as it comes it will go and so life, make sure to make the most of the latter as time is the only thing that can be recover.

Anyways, I wanted to really know your experience with this kind of businesses or trading options, what do you think? do you like them? are you currently trading ? What kind of trades do you like? What would you suggest to your younger self? What are the top lessons learned? Please comment and share if you like it, any upvote will be appreciated.
