This is inspiring to me. Thats more or less what I hope to achieve here on STEEMIT by regularly posting content. Funny you mention trying your hand at FOREX, I also failed twice at that with real money after doing well in the virtual account, FOREX just wasnt meant for us.
Everyone does well in the virtual account, it's not your money so your emotions don't come in to play as soon as you switch to real boom emotions take a part and destroy you!
