Withdrawing

I am wondering what is the best method of withdrawing from your account to pay for your living expenses without withdrawing too much. Fixed amount? Percentage of account value? Gains for the month? You don't want to pull out too much because you would lose the power of compounding on your gains.

Unfortunately i am still a loser and keep in donating my money to the market

umm... well it all depends on how much are you actually making, how much have you invested and how much are your living expenses, you hav'nt revealed anything above, but what i would like to do if i were you is to take out only a %age of the profit that i make. if i have 10k and i make let's say 1k any given month i will not be foolish enough to withdraw the entire 1k you got to keep increasing your account size by ploughing back profits if you want your investment to increase in value.

hope that helps.
