Well it's unfortunate that most missed the point.

But I am not surprised.

Someone asked how to transition from working for a living to trading for
a living and I gave an example of how one person did it.

Do you know, not one person took it in the vein of how one person took
an inheritance and transitioned from working in a field to trading?

No. Instead each person said sure. If I had 5 million dollars I could
trade.

Not one person thought in terms of how to move from working to
trading....each thought about the 5 million.

The money had nothing to do with the point.
