As the title says
Im really curious to figure out how much cash should one have in order to have a monthly income of 2000$ **consistently,** and whether it is realistic at all.
Little background:
Im unemployed already a year, using my capital to reduce as much as possible the living expenses by writing options and scalping short DTE options (buys)
But I want to have a better grasp in that manner - Im aware that solely relying on trading as main source of income is not ideal ("scared money").
Thanks in advance!
