It's a good one, thanks for posting about it. I'm only just starting in my investment journey, but ever since, I haven't really worried. Part of it, is that the PP prescribes a nice fat wad of cash. While other investors are worrying about how much they should keep cash, I can just stick to the 25% and simply not think about it. Except sleeping tight while knowing I have a loooong runway should work temporarily dry up.

Nice post, Tyler. It's easy to get lost in the weeds and not be thankful for what you have and lose sight of long term goals.

I admit, it puts a smile on my face to see that new date listed in the corner! :)
Don't agree with me too strongly or I'm going to change my mind

Thanks for noticing. :)

For the record, my calculated nominal return for the PP in 2017 (in the US) was 10.5% while the real return was 8.2%. Not bad!
