I've never understood these mileage runs

The $2500 option seems to value your time at around $90 per hour so any self evaluation higher means just paying the cash is the way to go.

To clarify, I wouldn't advocate a pure mileage run. I'd stay at least a couple of nights.

like

Sometimes flights to China can be really cheap this time of year (400-600). Long trip but you'll get the miles you need.

Why?

I can pay $700 for a solid mileage run and lock down EP or I can pay AA $2499 for EP.

8000 miles at 400-500 mph (factoring in taxi time) is probably north of 20 hours of your life. What is your time worth?

It's worth an entire year of (hopefully) first class upgrades

I would do but try for a stopover to break it up, it'll feel like vacation

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.
