Potentially moving to St. Paul. Any info in the city? I have 2 very good friends that already live there. How’s crime, housing, employment, atmosphere, night life, etc. I’m in my early twenties & from Chicago too.

You’re going to take a big hit on night life and since you’re from Chicago (presuming city proper), I’d opt for Minneapolis. You’re too young to live in St. Paul.
(fully expecting some St. Paul haters on this post)

It’ll be more affordable and less crime than Chicago and Minneapolis, though. The Twin Cities as a whole offers less employment than Chicago, but there are some solid employers here - mostly concentrated in the suburbs.

Good context to have. Even with that in mind, I recommend visiting so you can feel out the vibe. It’s home-y, quaint, and quiet in St. Paul. Which is good if you’re looking for a change of pace, but if night life is important, I’d opt for Minneapolis. There is a certain charm to St. Paul, but I wouldn’t put night life as a strong suit.

Crime varies by neighborhood so you’ll want to do some research once you find a couple of housing options. You’ll find lots of breweries, outdoor stuff like hiking and softball or kickball leagues and an active music scene. Minneapolis is right across the river so you more than double your options for everything!

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.
