I like this industry because it holds hope.
For one person, working until the end of life, the income ceiling can be seen at a glance.
As long as one steps into the mainstream values of buying a house, buying a car, getting married, and having children, it can be expected that these incomes will be consumed by these mainstream expenditures.
Even if you are a high-level worker, it only means a bigger house, better education, and a better car, just like traditional internet users: level 5 for small crayfish, level 15 for big crayfish... level 95 for thunder big crayfish.
If the mindset doesn't change, one will forever remain in a state of barely maintaining the current life, driving continuous work.
Trading can transcend traditional conservative thinking, giving me hope to exceed the income limits of my lifetime work, allowing me to understand moderation and choices.
This reminds me of a previous question: social development, whether in the past or now, people are busy, but technological progress is tangible.
Has society really progressed?
Later, I thought it through. Although just as busy as in the past, modern people have choices.
The busyness of the past was to meet the need for basic necessities of life.
Today's busyness is to meet the consumption needs expected by mainstream social values. This need has options; one can give up some demands, making life less than perfect. (In another sense, the life expected by mainstream social values is inherently difficult to achieve; only what is lacking is to be anticipated.)
Therefore, lowering standards and delaying marriage and home buying allows young people to slowly accumulate cash flow and have short-term risk resistance.
If you give up more, then the comfort of modern life far exceeds that of any past era.
Only after understanding the trade do I have the right to have expectations, and I won't feel like life is a dead end.
