Actually, Flip, it sounds as if you have done a good job sticking to your plan...maybe not 100%, but close...
It also sounds like you have decided on a vehicle and a time frame that suits your personality...
A lot of people really don't have a plan...
And some who have a written plan are trying to trade in a manner that goes counter to their emotional makeup...
I don't mean to sound as if I have the answers, but this topic is something that I do think about extensively...
Hence...the article...
Glad you enjoyed it...
