Very few careers can offer you the freedom, flexibility, and income that day trading does. As a day trader, you can live and work anywhere in the world. You can decide when to work and when not to work. You only answer to yourself. That is the life of the successful day trader. Many people aspire to it, but very few succeed. In the audiobook, I describe the fundamentals of day trading, explain how day trading is different from other styles of trading and investment, and elaborate on important trading strategies that many traders use every day.

Since you were old enough to hold a job, you've been hoodwinked to believe that wealth can be created by blindly trusting in the uncontrollable and unpredictable markets: the housing market, the stock market, and the job market. I call this soul-sucking, dream-stealing dogma "The Slowlane" - an impotent financial gamble that dubiously promises wealth in a wheelchair. For those who don't want a lifetime subscription to "settle-for-less", there is an alternative.

Budgeting Guide
Managing money was one of my struggles when I was younger, and it was something that I was never taught in school. With the audiobook, I feel confident about setting achievable financial goals and creating an emergency fund. I know saving money for an emergency is essential because if something happens to me, how can I take care of myself with no backup plan? I am glad that this audiobook brought some real-life examples, so it can help me understand why it's essential to save money; also learned about credit cards, loans, and some stocks. I wouldn't say I like having a lot of credit cards because that can tempt me to spend more than I can afford. It charges you a lot of interest, and paying them back is hard. I am happy I bought this audiobook for my future reference.

Taking a peek at pro budgeting
I always laugh when I think back to growing up and my friend asked his dad to borrow some money. His dad responded with B.U.D.G.E.T! And hung up the phone, lol. Ever since then, me and my friend learnt the value of being careful what you spend. And Chris Scotti gives listeners the low-down on how to do this like a pro. With up to date advice on sneaking past debt like a ninja (student, credit, and more), realistic ways of understanding that you CAN actually own a home one day if you do things right, hustle mentality fused with saving mentality (can’t stress how important this is), and a ton more. Fantastic financial literacy packaged into a powerful audiobook. Wish I had started thinking like this sooner.
