Followed by a lame, useless reply in a never ending stream of them. Why do people even bother to say stuff like this? (done - won't reply any further about that aspect.)

I am in a similar situation but haven't taken a shot at anything high yet. It's a difficult decision to know what to do and the people who say the only way is to have built up from .10/.25, not to disrespect your experience and knowledge, but I'm just not ever going to beleive that's the only way. That is one approach and people who should've taken that aproach and didn't may well be busto - probably plenty of them.

There are also those who took their shot at the highest they could possibly afford, busted, tried again and persisted and got to where they needed to be. Don't you think at some point those folks wondered "am I doing the right thing here?" At some point they had to feel something, if not fear then at least some self doubt - that's called being human.

I don't think there is a one-size-fits-all answer - I think it's a fine balance between risk, reward, continual improvement and what is going on in your head: fear/doubt/excitement/boredom/whatever.

It's a subject that is hard to put into words and I doubt I've answered anything, but I am really glad to hear someone ask exactly the same type of questions I have.
