When I share one of my HumbleDollar articles on Facebook, I hope it starts a conversation. or reaches someone who might find it helpful. It’s also a simple way to introduce friends and family to a community they may not otherwise discover.
Many of us here are retired or approaching retirement. But the subjects we discuss such as saving, spending, family, work and finding purpose matter long before our working years end. A younger reader might come for one article and find something else that speaks to their own life.
If you write for HumbleDollar, consider sharing your articles on Facebook, LinkedIn or wherever you connect with others. And if you’re a reader, sharing a piece that moved you can be just as valuable. Add a sentence about why it resonated. That personal connection may be what encourages someone to click. And encourage subscribing to the newsletter so that an article is never missed.
