The reason I became a trader is because the term financial freedom means more than having enough money not to worry about billing and day-to-day problems. Financial freedom also speaks of true freedom. The mere thought of being able to make enough money for a comfortable life from anywhere in the world, requiring only a computer and the Internet, is a powerful and motivating mindset. Being a successful trader not only means you can make a lot of money, but more importantly, it means you have freedom.
