That's a pretty good analogy! I would like to say that the payoffs though, are not only for the future. They are for the present also. You'll get a current 'good return' on your investment also!
That's a good point Antlers! The analogy does break a little there. We do get peace of mind with long-term investing but with DBing, if done right, there is a big near-term personal gain.
