That is a good point Sara, thank you. I will not bring up dollar amounts or percentages in any posts in the future. This recovery will take 2 to 5 years, depending on how much discipline I bring to it. I just need to be patient.

Fortunately, I prefer to live a simple life, so my cost of living is pretty low. I figure if I save half of my income, I can catch up and get back to a respectable net worth in that timeframe. If I can accomplish that, life will become much less stressful. But nothing worth having is ever free.

This will be the toughest journey of my life. It’s worth fighting for.
