That rubs some folks the wrong way, but that's just the way it is.

Maybe you want just bling, and that's fine: it's your money. Also, the plan can be of your own design. There's loads of info online and even in these forums. Although doing it this way makes it difficult to stick with it as you have no accountability. But if you're the type who has loads of self-control, go for it.
