Working as a civil servants have always been my thing, I work from Monday to Friday which to me is normal, I feel proud doing it until I started trading bitcoin.
Trading started making me see things differently, because I no longer wait for my monthly salary, now I earn money daily and week, due to the kind of large amount of money I make in trading I fell out of love for my civil service job, because the money is small but it is still a decent salary.
Note: in trading I earn base on performance, but even though the market is too bad, I still earn a decent amount of money out of it in a month base on my level in trading.
My question is guys which do you prefer, a steady monthly salary which you know that no matter what, it must come once the month ends or a business/ trading/ any other thing which you can do that you earn base on performance and you have the capacity to earn ten fold of what a civil servants might earn if you are good at it, but there is also a possibility that you may have a bad day in the office which you may even incurred some loss.
Which do you prefer an why.
I think that there is no such thing as a "steady income". People are just deluding themselves that they have a stable source of money because they have a job. But the truth is that they can be fired for almost any random reason at any time.
Personally, I would rather concentrate on different passive income sources. The more you have the better. Ironically, having such an income source is infinitely more secure than hoping that you get to keep your wage job in the near/far future.
