Thanks for the words of encouragement Fenders. I had my doubts at times whether I'd make it, but a strong December should push me over the top.
It can be discouraging at times when you see the tech sector go up 10% a week while some of the dividend stocks seem to tread water. But the market goes in cycles, so I suspect at some point that will shift back the other way again. Keep reminding myself that long-term S&P returns are only 6.1% over the last 20 years, so double-digit gains aren't anything to be ashamed of for long-term investing.
