Pretty sure you just described the exact path I and many others are on.

That minnow phase isn't always for the meek, takes some fortitude to push forward for the duration. Especially if you start here from scratch as opposed to coming over from a reddit or FB group like some have done.

That is why embracing the community and enjoying the networking effect of it all is so important. It's good for your social being and is also what grows your followers organically.

Proud to be a dolphin after all the hard work and hope to continue educating folks about personal finance, especially those that are scaredycats! :-)

Great post @aggroed
