My results are quite mixed, but mostly positive. On one hand, I work a 40 hour a week retail job and am broke as hell while living on my own. However, I also trade stocks part time with a prop firm, so you could say I have my foot in two very different worlds. My account is currently very small, so it doesn't currently produce enough for me to supplement my income (hence why I am broke), but overall things are looking up, and I feel myself getting stronger every year. I admit, there are times where I long for the more simple days of the 3T, especially because its more individualistic slant better matches my personality, but at the same time, I have so much more control over things, so much more adaptability and experience, and I seem to be thriving on more and more responsibility. I would not trade the latter for the former any day of the week (frankly, being a teenager kinda sucked. as an adult you actually get to have some control over things, as well as a more comprehensive, gut level understanding of how the world works and what's really going on).
