Don't be sorry for taking profits. Investing is supposed to improve your life, not lead to a never ending circle of reinvesting.

I see so many people here beating themselves up taking profits too early and it just pisses me off!
You people are so greedy and delusional you can't even enjoy the money that just fell from the sky for you!

Investing is supposed to improve the quality of your life, of your family's life and put you all in a better position overall.
This is the end game!

''I want to be a millionaire and never work again'' is a nice dream to have, but it's going to take like 15 years of not taking any profits for the majority of us here.
In those 15 years you are most likely ot have a family, kids and supposed to have unforgettable moments with them to keep you warm when the birds fly away.

What's the point of early retirement in 15 years if you never took your family to a ski vacation or never gift your son that shiny bike for this birthday, because you spent the profits on buying the dip?

We are all greedy and that's what pushes us forward, but you have to get your priorities straight.
Never taking profits is a 100% loss, even if that portfolio is worth millions.
