Every little success should be enjoyed and then the long journey that started with little steps will become long term wealth with big wins.

That is a good way to frame the topic, talking about what real things can be purchased with the money. Often, people get caught up in the boring, calculator-type of finance of x% for y years = $z. Not everyone wants to talk about algebra... .-= Tim´s last blog ..Parenting is hard =-.
