I definitely struggle to keep that cash back up, but I am living within a very narrow band of funds at the moment.
My savings plan this year barely affords me meals. But that is thanks to 2 employer contributed retirements, optional life insurance, 3 mutual funds (and Cannabis ETFs), a RothIRA, paying for my property and paying off a debt consolidation loan, all managed by an advisor. I have gotten so anxious about the time I have spent in debt that its driving me mildly crazy. So I am here demanding I scrape together another bill on top of all that and handle it mechanically and straight assassinate my debt.
What I realized that fueled my train of thought last night is that I was able to follow the Buy/Sell recommendation on Coinbase and made 10% in 3 days. Well shit, if Coinbase is literally telling me how to make money then why not. I am running my own little experiment with $100 just to see if it can really be done as methodically as it appeared to have worked in that instant. I see some coin with at least 2% gain every day. If its just a matter of learning to reliably predict a coin that would make those gains in 2 weeks and systematically conducting that trade then there is no reason I shouldn't be able to live up to my demands of having a debt free life. I used to get hung up with the part where you sell and take your profits. There is this feeling like the moment I don't hold I will be left behind. It just sorta hit me you don't need to wait for the market to go up on that scale. If Coinbase will just tell me when to buy and then a few days later I do it again then it would practically be passive income.
I dunno. I'll let you guys know if I succeed or starve to death first.
