GICs, dividends and options

The bulk of my estate is invested in GICs that mature in an annual step process, providing me with safety and flexibility to change if desired, a smaller portion is in stocks and ETFs that pay dividends for passive income and the remaining I plan to trade options, starting with selling out of the money put options, to replace the employment income I had from a part time job. I'm paper trading options until I feel confident enough to go live.

I tried day trading in stocks and cryptocurrency but haven't had enough success to warrant further attempts at the moment. Perhaps later.
