Piece 3: You Don’t Need a Plan. You Need Momentum.
I didn’t have a plan.
I didn’t have a monetary goal set.
I just decided to invest and stuck with it.
When I started investing, I wasn’t consciously thinking far ahead (subconsciously I might have been). I just wanted to save money. That was my only motivation. I didn’t want to be broke, and it didn’t matter if I was saving or investing, as long as I was putting money away.

The more you save, the more momentum you garner.
The more momentum you garner, the more you start to see results.
When you’re building from zero, results can take decades.
If you don’t touch your money over the long haul, those decades become monstrous.
