Out of all of these, I think the crux is planning. I don't think it's necessarily over-emphasized. You can't plan financially unless you, well, plan. But everything else comes into play--level of commitment, emotional obstacles, unclear life goals--and sometimes you just shut down in ADHD-overwhelmed mode and just can't make yourself plan.
I do this. A good friend does this big time, and the results in either case are not pretty. If all the other factors blogged about here are not in support of giving yourself a safe time/place/opportunity to sit down and plan, then there's bound to be a problem.

Interesting post. Would you be interested in syndicating your content on the home page of my site? It's an online community of finance professionals ( http://www.wallstreetoasis.com ). I could add an RSS feed that will allow me to promote your blog posts to my home page (when i think it will lead to a good discussion and/or is appropriate), but I wanted to make sure you were comfortable syndicating first. The syndicated post would have a link back to your original post. Thanks, Patrick (you can reach me at wallstreetoasis@wallstreetoasis.com if you have any questions).
Also, if you are willing to provide a link to wallstreetoasis.com that would be much appreciated.

Interesting set of articles and very practical. I'm not sure yet in which category I fall the most of the time but still it's nice and good to think about.
Thanks!
