Speaking anecdotally, my successful manifestations never took that long. When I manifested $10,000 (picrel) it took a few days for my father to give me the news. When I manifested leaving the Army, it again took less than a week to receive the news. I wonder if other things factor into the speed of manifestation?

I wonder this too, though I feel like it's absolutely essential to not have any expectations of how long it will take. After all, what does it matter how long something takes when you KNOW it is going to happen?
For me, one of the first experiences with manifestation was through prayer, I was very lonely and I desired to have a friend. I turned my attention to God and explained my situation and what I desired, immediately I was relieved and I felt that my 'problem' was already taken care of. 
Only 2 days after that I would meet a person that has become a very good friend of mine, and I haven't had anyone that I could call a friend since I left school some 10 years ago.
When I prayed, I didn't have any expectations of how long it would take, just the feeling that it will work out with the help from God, I didn't even expect my prayer to be answered so literally but it happened and fast too.

Sometimes anons here complain that manifestation is taking too long but that is essentially denying yourself the manifestation from happening, in my opinion, there should be not one bit of concern for time when you do manifestations, I think it can only breed uncertainty and make it harder to have a true conviction.

I believe it's fine as long as you're treating it like an experiment or game of sorts. In my experience, if there isn't SOME visible progress in a few days or weeks, then I'm doing something wrong. I'm either dwelling too much in the opposite of what I want, or my SATS scene isn't cohesive enough, etc. There is nothing wrong with using time as feedback to direct your focus more aptly. The only problem is thinking that not having your manifestation is a done deal, that because you don't have it now you can't possibly have it in the future, and so on. In other words, take what you see as feedback rather than something that is set in stone.
