Investment for a living

[vesfreq]

Same here. I am also grateful for all the sharing.

Like TS, I have been preparing to go full time investing. When I look at my past records, I have realised I have been saving more than my pay partly because of my low living expenses and lucky investment income. However, like what Shn has shared, I think my mental state will be different if I invest w/o regular income. Also I have want to build higher capital to ensure I can withstand any kind of economic disaster as once I choose the route of full time investment, I think it is difficult to turnback. On the other hand, my full time job currently does not allow me to do more investment research as I would like to.

Perhaps going for part-time work is a good middle of the path option. Can anyone share what is the requirement for part time tutor/ lecturer?
It seems like a good option while keeping in touch with my current professional expertise in finance & accounting.

I have peers in the tutoring/ lecturing fields. Those have their own challenges like any other jobs.

If teaching part time, one has to take it at his/her own stride. These days, teaching part time is no longer like the old days. Students can petition against lecturer online. It was unheard before in the past.

With sufficient hours to clock, it is an attractive source of income. Only issue is that it may not provide the consistency of fixed pay permanent jobs. I ever had a friend who was teaching full time hospitality and he was later downgraded to driving cab... just because there was a lack of demand for hospitality programs, as compared to accounting and finance.

The same like for investing full time. The consistency of income is always an issue. On the other extreme, I seen peers hitting 5 figures from teaching. In any trade, there are the dogs and the stars. Just be sure to spread your eggs in different baskets, plates, pans, bowls, cups and whatever utensils in the kitchen.
