A full time poker job that gives you a regular comfortable income fits in with this statement.

I don't recall stating that either a poker job, or a 9-5 job was fun.
 
 
I think you are missing the whole point of my OP. My intentions with creating this thread is to perhaps make people stop and think before taking the leap.
I am by no means suggestion they shouldn't go for it.
 
Trying to give them an insight of the expenses they might experience that are outside of their direct  poker costs is my aim here.
The way I see it, it goes without saying, anyone intending playing poker full time will have their bankrolls in order and will be confident with their skill-set. If they don't, they are on a hiding to nothing.
 
I believe I am already achieving my objective in some way by reading Aussieguru's post stating that he was considering taking poker up full time and that this thread got him to thinking.
 
I started this thread asking "Are you putting to much pressure on yourself?" and I finished it by saying "BE PREPEARED".
My aim is purely a "Think it through completely before acting" discussion.
 
It was prompted by an unsuccessful and very sad tale of woe a good friend of mine just went through. A superb poker player, but a lousy planner.
 
I think by saying that it's all pretty standard and should be no problem for someone with the roll and the skill-set, is sending out the wrong message.
