Done!
Started tracking this way 28 months ago, with what I thought of as an aggressive goal of endowing 4 days per month. I actually did slightly better than that--4.45 days/month:
6/20/19--366 days 11
6/10/19--355 days 3
5/10/19--352 days -2
4/10/19--354 days 16
3/10/19--338 days 6
2/10/19--332 days 11
1/10/19--321 days 5
12/10/18--316 days -9
11/10/18--325 days 0
10/10/18--325 days -6
9/10/18--331 days 1
8/10/18--330 days 7
7/10/18--323 days 3
6/10/18--320 days 5
5/10/18--315 days 9
4/10/18--306 days -8
3/10/18--314 days 16
2/10/18--298 days -11
1/10/18--309 days 14
12/10/17--295 days 8
11/10/17--287 days 3

7/10/17--262 days 3
6/10/17--259 days 5
5/10/17--254 days 7
4/10/17--247 days 3
3/10/17--244 days 6
2/10/17--238 days start
Some thoughts: 1) I'm really glad I didn't start this until I was less than three years from being done, and I kind of wish I had waited still another year. It was kind of painful, even though I was making great progress. I can't imagine doing this for like a decade. I guess that's the nature of all countdown clocks, though. 2) It helped to force myself to only formally update it once a month--though I have no self control and looked literally every day the market was open. 3) Progress gets faster the closer you are to goal--so keep your spirits up, early savers. It gets better.
