As they say, the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now. Just because it takes a while to bring it online doesn't mean it isn't a worthwhile investment.

Actually that's exactly what it means. Investments are measured in Rate of Return on Investment - the time to break even. Because the sooner you get your money back, the sooner you can re-invest it.
