Ive also made good money, but overall the year has been a failure for me. I didn't make as much as I wanted to, or as much as I expected to after June of this year (I basically did a flip of what you did, and am actually down money since July). While running bad I also began to tilt a little more than I thought I did. Not anything extreme, but just not playing as good as I know I could. Like you also, I had had 1 losing month in the past 2 years. This year (assuming things dont go south at the end of this month) I had FOUR
. Granted 2 were basically break-evens (tiny losses) but two were 5 figures. I also had 4 out of 5 winning months in the first half of the year 5 figures or better and the 5th just shy of five figures...May and June were my biggest months of the year (first May then June I broke Mays amount)...since then however I havent had one 5 figure month in the second half and after this month I'll only be 3-3 in the 2nd half (winning months vs losing months)
I also wanted to start future plans as far as investments, saving etc which I did not do, as well as potentially get involved in other business opportunities which would not involved my time (or much of it....basically letting the $ work for me) which I also did not really do.
Ontop of that, while I did make more than I'd likely make at a typical job (and had the freedom to do what I want blah blah blah) i didn't make stunning money of any kind.... particularly after June I was expecting 6 figures easily, and I didnt hit that...
All this court shit came to pass and I ended up having to plea out to 3 years of probation in sept and Ive just been transfered over to queens this month.... besides the headache of dealing with all of this, I've also been entered into this "special" program for probationers without employment (great I cant wait to see what kind of jobs theyll find me...I think Im the only one with college degree and real job experience). I don't really wanna get into too much detail because this is a public viewing thread and who the fuck knows who's reading this but yea....basically this year I haven't been a big fan of.
I was hoping to be halfway saved toward a condo with a big bankroll on the side -- Im getting there, but just not as far as I wanted to be....
