To add to this: I have very little college, and work for what I consider low pay. Either way, I can't complain too much because my job affords me quite a bit of downtime. That said, I used that time somewhat wisely, and spend a lot of time researching the companies I am invested in.

Along with that, I research technicals and read a lot. I'm still nowhere near a technical investor, and many of my stocks are long holds. I find it fun playing around with money and managing it -- I've always been a poor saver. As for someone who started less than a year ago investing I've seen almost 27% returns overall year-to-date. I don't consider this too bad, but I'm sure I could do a little better.

I don't live beyond my means, and am very frugal.
