>would treating myself to 10% of profits be too much?
reward yourself, but not too much. 10% is great.

>day trading

Top kek. Buy and hold or passive index funds/ETFs

10% is great. Now create a diverse portfolio including high dividend stocks, buy up some bonds for safety, then compound interest my friend.

BBD.B You're Welcome.

So what would an ETF offer me that day-trading wouldn't? Is it just a higher return?

I'm a fucking novice

More exposure to a broad range of an exchange instead of limiting yourself to one stock. Day trading is too short term and youre more likely to lose more money than if you go with ETFs

>>1485552
You will lose your money day trading. If you really MUST try it, throw like 10% of your portfolio into an account for trading and invest the rest. See where that account winds up after a year.

Thanks guys for the responses. This gives me a path to get started studying. I lurk so if anything significant comes about I'll keep updated.

One piece of advice you should never forget, but is quite often forgotten, is that's you should never invest in anything (whether it's stock, bond, etf, whatever) without fully understanding risks and benefits. Keep researching and only make your moves once you fully understand what you're getting into.

Can't you just move somewhere with low house costs, buy a house in full, put the rest into a low index fund and work small jobs on the side, live kind of frugally and let your money build up while you never really work again?
