Bekas Presiden Uruguay, José Mujica telah digelarkan sebagai ‘presiden termiskin di dunia’ gara-gara sifat pemurahnya yang dimilikinya selain mengamalkan gaya hidup yang sederhana.
Dikatakan José sanggup menderma sebahagian besar gaji yang diperolehinya sebagai presiden negara kepada pusat kebajikan dan hanya meninggalkan sejumlah wang yang sedikit, sekadar cukup-cukup untuk beliau menampung kehidupan.

Semasa José memegang tampuk pemerintahan Uruguay bagi tempoh 2010 hingga 2015, beliau telah mendermakan 80% daripada gaji bulanannya sebanyak RM49,200 kepada pusat-pusat kebajikan sekali gus menjadikan José sebagai ahli politik yang paling miskin di dunia.
Bukan sahaja itu, José juga tidak menetap di kediaman rasmi presiden. Sebaliknya, beliau tinggal di sebuah ladang bunga bersama isteri tercinta dan hanya memandu kereta Volkswagon Beetle 1987.

Selepas tidak lagi menjadi presiden, José terus memberikan sumbangan kepada negaranya dengan berkhidmat sebagai Senator. José bagaimanapun meletakkan jawatan sebagai Senator pada 14 Ogos yang lalu walaupun tempoh pelantikan beliau adalah sehingga tahun 2020.

Walaupun begitu, José nekad untuk terus berjuang melawan rasuah dalam negara itu meskipun beliau tidak lagi memegang apa-apa portfolio tinggi.

“Ianya sangat meletihkan selepas perjalanan yang panjang,” kata bekas pemimpin negara Uruguay yang berusia 83 tahun itu.
Apa yang lebih menyentuh hati dan membuatkan kita kagum dengan José adalah keengganan beliau untuk menerima wang pencen. Jelas beliau, wang pencen tersebut harus disalurkan kepada individu yang lebih memerlukan.

Make Money Trading the Forex Market Without Disrupting Your Lifestyle
When Forex traders start out in their Forex career they focus very hard on learning technical and fundamental analysis and the basics of charting and dealing. These skills are critical to their trading success and they enable currency traders to make the much bigger decisions regarding the way they will make money in the Forex market.
Once you have a basic and sound appreciation of the strengths and weaknesses of Fundamental and technical analysis and have experienced Forex trading success and failure in a number of forex techniques you have to make a number of fundamental decisions on how you are going to make money out of currency trading. By then you will also have developed a full appreciation of money and risk management, the impact of leverage and spread, psychological forex trading obstacles, risk return ratio alternatives, success rate limitations and many more.
The first decision you need to make is whether you are going to be a hands on self trader or whether you are going outsource your currency trading.
You can outsource your Forex trading to money management services or link your account to successful Forex traders. Many currency traders are forced to outsource their Forex trading for many reasons. Not being able to trade successfully themselves and having a lifestyle that does not allow enough time to trade are common reasons. When you outsource your trading you are completely hands off and you leave the trading to the organisation you have selected. Please not that using a Forex Robot is not outsourcing your currency trading. Selecting and managing a Forex robot is regarded as hands on Forex trading.
Given that your decision was not to outsource your currency trading, you then have a number of decisions to make.
You need to decide if you are going to use automated Forex trading techniques such as trading Robots and Expert Advisors or be a hands on, manual, Forex trader. When it comes to automation your trading can be fully automated or partially automated. Even if you decide to use trading robots you will need considerable Forex trading skills to select and correctly manage a Forex trading robot. The selection and management of Forex trading Robots are skills you will need to develop and be 100% competent in.
You can also outsource the deal identification to Alert services and enter and manage the transaction from then on. The transactions are communicated by email, SMS or website log in and you can then decide whether to manually enter them or not.
If you decide to do your own trading, your currency trading experience to date should give you good idea about what type of Forex trader you are going to be. There are many types of Forex Traders. The main decisions are:
Do you prefer being a short-term or long-term trader? Some traders will prefer short-term and scalping methods where transactions generally do not last longer than a few minutes to a day. Others prefer trading the longer term trends and swings in the market where transactions could last a day or a number of days.
Do you prefer being a bounce (Retracement) or breakout (Trend trading) trader? The market is fundamentally made up of one group of traders who believe that the currency will bounce when it reaches a level of support or resistance and the other group who believe that the currency will breakthrough the support or resistance and start trending. That is what makes the market so volatile and interesting. It is possible to be successful using both methods when appropriate but in the end successful traders all have a bias towards either being a breakout or a bounce trader.
All traders have a number of fundamental Forex trading decisions to make. These decisions are best made by trying to match your personal trading psychology, your risk profile and lifestyle requirements in order to ensure that you are most comfortable in your trading career in the long run.
In order to make the best informed decision it is best to have experience in all the above methods and options. It might require outside guidance or mentorship. Be sure to always ask the most appropriate questions relative to your Forex career. Some are lucky and find their best fit on their first exposure to Forex. For others who are not so lucky it is a case of trial and error to find the approach that will bring them long-term Forex success. If you have embarked on this journey treat it as fun and a learning experience and good luck finding your perfect match.
