Deciding between UMS and PRA

[EvolvingPhoenix]

So... I've been using dmsi v3.5 for the last few months because I was burnt out on healing aids and couldn't afford another program. Over the last few months, I've devised a vision/plan for a business that could make good money, but I need to save up and do all these various things, many of which cost money. Just stuff I need to get the business going and stuff I need to work on.

I feel it's important because improving my financial situation is a necessary component of many other issues I have. Financial freedom and personal power are intertwined and both are therefor necessary aspects of my life to focus on. So I figure ums would be perfect for now. 

Still, PRA sounds amazing. I'm leaning towards UMS tbh and maybe use pra later, when I have more money thanks to my business succeeding. It's an ambitious plan that's only possible due to certain fortunate circumstances that enable me to do it, but I really could use the help. 

Do yall think I should go with UMS or do you think I should do PRA?

Personally, from what I remember from your journals, I would recommend PRA first, then UMS.

Perhaps even wait for the 6.5G version of PRA, that'd be up to you (and who knows when it'll be out.)

Glad to hear you have some cash on hand.

I dunno. I think fixing my financial situation and actally being my own boss for a change would make a big difference. Question is: am I likely to execute? If so, I should probably go for ums first, honestly. I need to make a change in my actual lifestyle and external world. Yes, the internal determines the external, but the external shouldn't be indefinitely neglected. I'm pushing 40 and living with my parents again. I'm still leaning towards UMS, but I'm not sure enough to pull the trigger yet.

EDIT: I just realized this is the wrong subforum for this thread. Sorry guys.

Also consider AAM7 Stage 0. For now, it's the same cost as a copy of PRA.

Although if I remember correctly from your journals, with your parents it could be worthwhile to use a shield as well.

It's the whole chicken and the egg thing. PRA first is the long term view, UMS is the short term gamble. From my experience and what I've read, these are the two paths I see, each with their own risks and tradeoffs:

-path 1:
Straight to UMS. If you are already able to take action, this is probably fine to run immidately. If not, you risk running UMS and wasting time on. This compounds with multiple runs. It's a sunk cost fallacy where maybe it's just one more run and then I'll finally take action. UMS proabbly can get you there with enough time, but if you're using it to clear major blockages primarily, you might as well be using a healing program if you're not taking action.

-path 2:
PRA first. Basically run this if you have significant blockages to action. You can run a UMS run to see if you break out, but if not, I don't recommend continuing based on my own knowledge and experience. If you're not taking action anyways, then PRA is the more logically sound path because it's all upside. Even if you don't end up taking action after a few runs, you're banking gains that will stay with you for the rest of your life. A lot of UMS might not land properly because you don't have the base to work with it. PRA is all upside from the beginning.
