Its awesome because u state the absolute truth. People tend to get attached to their investments emotionally and that is not a good thing. Investors should have a plan in place to succeed weather or not that particular investment is successsful. So therefore, no fear and no emotion :) Nice article.

Time is money and time is the one thing that is not usually taken into consideration when a lot of people do these kinds of calculations.

It's been getting slaughtered by other currencies. If you simply parked your cash in the Austrian dollar one year ago today you'd have something like an 18% return. Why wouldn't this be a top priority? If there is more money to be made investing abroad (which I believe there is) why is this not something you would take into consideration?

Like you mention its about long term growth and stability not the short term fling. I would rather have the safe play at a higher interest rate than banks than try for the quick lust play.

Definitely covered all of the bases here. Only thing I can add is that I would only slow down the payment of debt to get employer match on retirement plans. I personally get 100% match of the firs 3% of my investment. 100% return is a LOT more than the interest on any of my debts. It has added up very quickly for me and I don't regret it! Nice post!
