Break even
A basic financial term meaning neither making a profit nor a loss; in trading and business it refers to recovering costs exactly.
Breaking even is often a milestone, especially for new businesses. It shows sustainability but not profitability.It’s like finishing a game with the same number of chips you started with.
Real world: A startup reaches break-even after covering all expenses. A trader exits a position with no gain or loss.
💡 Breaking even keeps you alive—but growth comes from going beyond it.
