So yeah, forex trading is great! Kinda, I guess. It really depends on your personal story. I’m Alexa, go ahead and crack a joke about me being available to tens of millions of Amazon users, and I am from sunny San Diego. A friend introduced me to forex trading while I was still in college, during my year in Italy. She was earning more money from forex trading than many I knew who were working a few jobs just to make it through college. Naturally, the idea of me trading from my dorm room between classes was very appealing. I mean, no more crappy jobs to pay the bills!
