Becoming a Full-Time Investor

To become a full-time investor, several prerequisites need to be considered. First, it is advised not to rush into full-time investing but rather test oneself as an investor by managing money for a period of time. Second, having no financial liabilities is crucial to avoid additional stress and risk. Third, the mental aptitude to thrive as a loner in the investment process is essential, as investing can be a solitary activity. Lastly, having complete support from family and loved ones is crucial for success in full-time investing.
