Saving this. I've read a dozen takes on this and yours is the first that admits the tradeoff instead of pretending there isn't one. What would you give up first if you had to cut back?
This is the kind of post that should get pinned. The advice is everywhere but the honesty about how long it takes isn't. What's the part people quit right before it pays off?
Adding a data point: I've run this for two years and it's held up through a job change and a move, which is the real test. The trick was making it small enough that it never felt optional. How small did you start?

I went down this exact path and the one thing I'd warn about is how easy it is to quietly stop once life gets busy. The system has to survive a bad week. How do you handle the off days?
