Yeah its sickening, give the torys a little longer though and hopefully theyll fix that.

No offense take it, i live in mexico.
Was living close to the border with California, but recently move out more to the central-east part and life is really cheap in general. Bills are payed every other month not each month like was paying before, also living just outside the city, small town, friendly people, get a house with 2 bedrooms (Wife and i take care of my folks who are on the 70´s.). You can eat with about $200 by month, pay around $150 on bills, and the rest is for expenses. Really happy here tbh.
Dollar is 13:1 local coin.

Makes much more sense. I'm from Africa originally, $500 a month where I'm from would be enough to buy me more than one house. Still, if OP is living in Europe $500 a month would be barely enough to eat, let alone pay rent and bills.

LOL, this guy sounds like me 2 years ago,
I lived in the UK on 25nl for a little while, i did it for 4 months paying £400 rent in some shitty bedsit, I played like 9- 12 hour days 10 tables at the time, it was hard paying for food and rent and other bills but i did it although i quickly realised how much of a bad idea it was lol, its not ****ing glamorous at all its just really baddd lol. You will eventually burn out and hate your life, I really think winrates are also bullshit since it can vary so much over the longrun you shouldnt make crazy plans based on your winrate its forever changing, and is dependant on so many factors.
I highly recommend you try and get to 100nl maybe 50nl you could really do it i guess on your own if you put in long hours and try and have a rakeback deal on a site liek FTP for instance, but yea man really dont rush yourself out the door try and get like 80 buyins for whatever level your goin for i used to follow the 100buyin rule but i just find that to be overkill. Plan it out its taken me 4 years but now ftp has paid out my roll is at a point where i can think about having a nice place and playing fully pro if I crush 50nl- 100nl for two months. currently semi pro work 2 days a week poker the rest

Ah, that does make more sense -- for some reason I had you pegged as Euro.
I've been to Mexico many times, met my wife there, and actually lived in Mexico for awhile in the 80's (in Juarez, before the cartels took over and it was actually a happening party city).
Yeah when I was there before they reformed the peso, it was like 3500:1 and you're right, on my lowly soldiers pay I could live like a baller. Which is why I spent so much time across the border.

I don't understand why you would want to make "just enough" doing a very hard, mentally and emotionally draining job. Being a pro without making tons of money would be awful. It's fine if you're still in college or whatever but you need to be making a lot for it to be worth it.

If you live in USA not see the point to go pro if your money is not really safe in the small numbers of sites still open. Also not sure you could make any decent volume on a USA open site.
Lot of 2+2 blogs talk about pro poker players that move-out to Canada or Mexico to could play on Stars and keep playing the amount of games/hands they use to play, aside of volume cashing-out on usa sites is a pain. Not sure if where you are playing don´t have any of those issues.

Well until you're mashing 100NL, Poker should be a 'blah' option as well. Find a job that has good promotion opportunities.

If it offers good opportunities then yes. Its best to get yourself into large companies where promotion is possible, even if it means working your way up from the very bottom.
