For me its a passion driven by doing what I love, the money is just a bonus. I'd still trade if I only made peanuts doing it. My passion for trading grew when I could physically watch the world economy on a screen and that's what made me want to learn about trading. In the beginning, I didn't know what type of money you could make trading. For me, the other is Passion driven by the freedom it offers followed by money. Plus, I like solving puzzles so trading can be a bit of a puzzle at times too!
