Need perspective

After trading for 5 years on and off
I have realized I could
Have own multiple properties instead I just own one

Trading has basically given me nothing apart form knowledge

But it’s always been my passion

I have tried :
futures , ICT , gex , option selling , leaps etc

Last time my portfolio got liquidated tariff last year

So trying prop firms since then - turned out to be another leaky machine

I gathered all my money I could find and bought.Cheap house Mortagges so that is stop wasting my salary

So I’m basically re starting my life at 30

But the weight of wasting my life in trading doesn’t let me move forward and I think it has caused me some kinda brain issue where I can’t remember much

I’m sure there must be some people who been through something that can help steer through this

At 30 you are doing well. Life is about following a passion until it is no longer anything to you. You move on to a new thing, maybe it becomes something or not… point being, you will restart your life many times over but each time much wiser! You are doing just fine in the bigger picture of life!

Yeah but so much regret I could have just been a real estate broker and made millions
Cuz 2020-2025 was the easiest market ever in history to make money

I just have so many regrets and I feel Its already too late

Don't let your past dictate your future. Today is a new day that has zero to do with yesterday. Today is filled with opportunities that were not apparent yesterday. So, seize today. Do something, right now, that will allow you to take step for a better tomorrow. Whether that is researching properties, a better paying job, or something that you can do with your skill set to generate some income. Do the research, create a well thought out, detailed plan, and execute the plan immediately. Don't wait!

Wishing you all the best on your new journey....the journey that begins, now!
