* Trading 'high risk - high reward' in a taxable account with margin (ex: put in 10k and they give me $30k extra). About 15-20 trades per month, 30% day trades and the rest 5-10 day hold periods. I use stop losses to minimize risk. I have no losses YTD. I use Twitter to find stocks in play and trade based on technicals.

* Max Roth IRA in long term trades.

* 401k up to employer match

* No mortgage, no car, no kids, paying under 10k school loan off

* I rent in the city, walk to work (no public transit costs) and each year I can upgrade or downgrade my monthly rent based on my income changes.

I'm thinking about buying a detached property (minor HOA fees) in Miami or Las Vegas in cash to move and dedicate full time working on my startup and trading.
