Hello
I'll tell you what's going on with me
I have been playing for more than a year with $100 financing, living my life and paying my bills from them
Every two or three days, I withdraw about 40 or 50 dollars of profits. Every time my balance reaches 200 dollars, for example, I withdraw 100 and leave 100 to play. I won a lot, but my balance never reached 500 dollars. I cannot let the balance reach this limit because of my continuous withdrawals and I have more than A year in this situation, I see in the withdrawal register that I withdraw about 500 to 800 dollars per month, and I look at the remaining balance on the site, I see it from 100 to 150 dollars, it does not exceed that, and I think a lot how much I want my balance on the site to reach 500 in order to play at higher limits and win a lot I live a better life, but I can't because of my expenses
Am I successful or unsuccessful?

That's a question only you can answer.
Let's look at the money:
you're withdrawing about 500 each month, and this is paying your bills
you're not moving up in stakes, but you would like to.
you have no other source of income.
First question
Do you enjoy playing the game? If so, you could keep playing at this level, and just enjoy your life.
Second question:
Can you withdraw $5 less each time to let your bankroll build up?
To answer your original question, you're stagnating — neither successful nor unsuccessful.
A second source of income would free money up.
How much study do you do?
Cheers,

First, thank you for your words

I really enjoy playing the game
Second question:

I thought about this idea and did it and left 5 or 10 dollars once or twice and then one day I would withdraw them because I need more

I really feel like I'm stagnating
And I know that if there was a second source of income, I would have been in a better situation, but I cannot do another job because I play 5 to 10 hours a day.
What saddens me brother is that I feel that if I did the same effort on a slightly higher border, the results would have been impressive, but I am even afraid to sit at the table for 10 dollars at once
And I hope to play a tournament for 20 or 30 dollars once and I didn't do so I was afraid of losing
I don't play in a contest over $5, and I don't sit at a table for more than $5 either.
I never risk my balance because I have no other.
And play rationally.
When the idea comes to me to go to a higher table, I turn back immediately
Wait for the day when the money comes from any external source to start my real journey
Thank you
Leave 10% of each weeks winnings in your bankroll so if you win $100 only withdraw $90 at least that way your bankroll is always building.

The world of poker is very strange and the more you delve into it and understand it well, you won't like anything
It's hard and easy at the same time
I hope to do as you say
Every once in a while I win first or second place in a contest of 3 dollars and get one time on 200 to 350 dollars. Do you think I should leave it of course not because I miss money? I withdraw them immediately and enjoy life and then I say to myself I wish I had left it to play at higher limits
I feel like I have ropes in place
The main problem is that I have a family of 4 people

If you're supporting a family of 4 on the winnings you describe, then I don't have any experience that would compare to your situation.

Even if you leave 10% of your winnings each time that happens, after 10 such wins you will have double the bankroll.
With all of this, I know it's destiny. I play poker and win. Despite that, I live the life of an employee. The level is fixed. It's fate. It might change one day
