Keep those North Stars, and define your own success!

Anything is possible with enough time and money.  Be kind to yourself, and trust the process.  You will have to make time for this, life has a way of pushing dreams like this out.  I would recommend that you SCHEDULE dedicated time for your new trading business so you have accountability to build this.  

I want to dedicate 1 hour minimum a day toward my study and learn about trading

I want to spend time with my FAMILY especially my disable daughter go for walk in the park

i would love to spend more time working on my health

@Randolph Patterson Health sure puts a lot of things into perspective.  There are so many demands on our time, and things like learning, going for walks and exercising are important, but not urgent so they too often get pushed to the side.  It has been my experience that scheduling these priorities goes a long way.  In addition, scheduling them with support from my family.  

Keep up the work, and celebrate the process. 

This may change but it’s what I have right now. I can imagine I would have to readjust to what works for me the best

This is good!

I want to spend about 10 hours a week volunteering. It makes me feel useful.

Since I retired my income has changed. I would love to make my old income 125k and keep increasing.

I would love to get a trainer and take better care of my mind and body. Go to the spa at least once a month and be pampered.

I would love to take at least 2 cruises a year in style.

Take a class. 

Visit family out of State.

Volunteer at an Animal Shelter.

Helping the elderly.

Short term - work PT 

Long walk in the park more.

Long Term replace FT income, and to increase twice that plus more.

But I want to know, to properly complete this exercise, how many years do people normally take before they allow themselves the luxury of taking profits of some amount, rather than reinvesting everything 

Great question @David Turner Turner! It really depends on each persons goal and current trades. Sometimes its really good to take profit and use it for a bill, because then seeing the result can help you get in the habit of taking profit and not getting too greedy in trades. Each person is different though!
