Hi everyone   

I have been reading everything possible on here for a relatively short time and have learnt so much and been and am impressed with all our efforts to have our best life

For years I thought that gambling was all the usual types we all know those I never really understood the trap of gradual high risk investment industry 

Maybe 40 years ago investment into shares etc was a safe paragon of smart money use and future planning but over the past 30 years it has changed so much to include cfd trading crypto high risk funds and the AIM shares markets 

Its easy to see with hindsight where frugal investors went astray it becomes all encompassing to your weekly income very tired trying to make money from trading money

Its 24 hours a day stress and burnout follows then of course you think this next time I have a different strategy and sometimes it works but we all know we do not keep profit for a better life for our family 

So thankful to all you guys and girls on here and to the superb support team here I will be helping others as much as I can it’s priceless 

Best Mh
