Don't Dip Into Your Investments

Once you've developed the discipline to save and invest, don't make rash decisions to dip into your investments to pay for things you don't need.  Even if you need them, try to find a way to fund them elsewhere.  It is extremely important that you give the money in your account all the time it needs to grow and grow before withdrawing it.
