My uncle used to be a secondary school teacher in Canada. Being a teacher is one of the better paid jobs in Canada (after all they get to take the summers off for vacationing), but its pension plan is the best. When he retired, under the guidance of his wife, he started investing in the stock market. As time progressed, he stopped trading and focused on buying dividend earning stocks. Instead of having the exhilaration of buying and selling, he bought and started getting the satisfaction from seeing dividend checks.

I have been involved in Cryptos since BTC was $100. I was enthusiastic with the technology and my uncle would just shake his head. His strategy was earning him so much money, all of his pension went to pay for the taxes he owed from his investment strategy. Fortunately the technology has evolved enough that there are now saving accounts, delegations and staking.

Last June, I gathered my resources and started earning $20 per month. However, I stuck with the plan and kept working at it. I grew up on a dairy farm. Beef farmers would get one huge paycheck once a year (or not large). Dairy farmers wake up early in the morning to milk their cows, and again in the late afternoon. I just realized. I am dairy farming again but now my cows are cryptocurrencies. I just check the price of two of my cryptos. One has just gained 3.1% in the last 24 hours and the other has lost 2.6%. I no longer make $20 per month. I make roughly $1.00 per hour. Each morning and evening I milk my cryptos (and reinvest them, I am building them for my retirement). I am actually accumulating them in a way that I will be able to buy a new cow. A different crypto that might even have a higher rate of return (all the eggs in one basket is a mistake philosophy). It's possible both my father and uncle might be smiling at me a little.

I am not suggesting that you change what you do, but maybe you might milk a cow for a little while instead of flipping it.
