My mom actually does a similar job (selling used cars overseas) for fun, but it's definitly a risky business. Personally I think everyone needs basic stable income, they can't rely on taking risks to get them by, and I've seen a lot of good people lose everything because they just couldn't make it to their next big pay day. You can't control risk, and in the financial the company that I work for assumes the worst case scenario will happen and we totally insulate ourselves from being dependent on anything going our way. That lets us keep going no matter how bad our luck is, and the pay off is always there after a streak of bad moves, which we have no problem absorbing.

I'd consider getting a day job though, you can't be at the mercy of your luck man, no matter how good the good times are.

With my line of work I pretty much know I'm going to be making good money my whole life, but I work hard to make great money because I have the opportunity to and I'm not someone who can squander that.
