Patience pays off. I know that we often set up examples in Fooldom showing what might happen to various investments over 25 or so years. But look at the solid compounding progress made here in just 11 years. And from this midpoint, another 11 years doesn't seem that far away. Dripping doesn't have to involve frequent regular small investments.
Big wins can override mistakes.
