Hey, with regards to the ladies, I know it was always a turn-off to me to date people in my church. I think you said they were people at your church that you were approaching, so I am giving you the girl’s view on dating people you go to church with. I did it several times and it just turns out with either one or the other looking for a different church to attend when things fall apart. Not worth it since you generally go to church to get away from your troubles and drama. I know lots of people do find great partners at church, but I found it wasn’t really the right place to be dating for me and made it a rule not to date people at my church.

It’s probably easier to meet people at a dance than it is at church, which is where I met most of the people I dated. Some place social that you can avoid later, if you have to.

u r right about that high rush u get when u make a nice trade.

there are days i can barely stop myself from making a trade , just for the sake of making a trade..

and then i end up cutting my losses as soon as the stock falls down.

those emotional trading often is what hurts your profits.

if u can make a good technical analysis, get ready to buy PUTS on the US markets.. i think u can make a decent profit.

hey its me again i posted few months back.

i am having limited success with trading.

now im tempted to get into FX… but FX makes me very nervous.

just imagine someone that bought eur/usd a month ago, and if he held on till now.. probably wiped out now… lol

so volatile specially with the margins u get there.

debtkid, what strategy did u use to do FX ? did u do charting ?

Nice on the progress bars to the right. Getting your debt down 7% is not so mundane!! Give yourself more credit than that. Please don’t compare yourself to Casey Serin. He is not helping anyone, even himself. Just a 21st century circus sideshow. Mundane is far preferable to Casey’s antidote.

On the other hand, you seem to be serious about what you are doing. Your articles and blogs are insightful and serve to help and inspire others.

Remember that rush, that charge, in anticipation of the big score usually (more often than not) resulted in a loss, not a big score. There is no easy money. Your excitement, your rush will come when you have paid off your debt. Same as your post about patience.

Maybe some daring type of sport, such as bmx biking, rapelling, or some other such reasonably safe but exciting sport would be a decent outlet for the rush you are seeking?
