Good to see the site ticking along nicely as well, another thing I need accountability on is finally getting a new site up & running, having too much fun in life haha ;)!

I would add that having a purpose for each dollar saved is important. For me, since retirement is so far off its hard to enjoy saving for it. Therefore, I get more specific with what my retirement saving will provide for me. This could be something like, a trip for the grandkids to the Grand Canyon, or a house with a pool. Like you mentioned, visualizing your goals helps a ton. Also, automating savings helps. A percentage from each paycheck goes to retirement and a separate investmenting account. This way I don’t have to think about it as much.

And you are never done learning! There is always something else that you could learn about and put into practice to better your situation.
