Thank you for this, Andrew. You shed light on the other side of retirement that, as you say, is less discussed but even more important than all the financial maneuvering. I'm sure Jonathan is indeed looking over your shoulder when you write, and I know he's smiling.
This was great, Adam, thank you. And the Warren Buffett video clip was wonderful. I liked how, once he turned the question over to Charlie Munger, he (Buffett) began casually digging into a plastic bag for snacks. Do you suppose he brought them from home? It would fit his profile!
Andrew, thank you for sharing your story. I think anyone who's been in business for him/herself can relate. I worked in a small law firm for most of my career and the business and management part fell mostly on me. You can never really get away from it, and it's top-of-mind 24/7. Maybe this consciously or unconsciously influenced our kids. They all now work for large organizations and, while there are undoubtedly pressures of a different sort, I don't think they're the same all consuming type. I'm happy for them.
Rick, good on you, and Dan and Howard and the other volunteers, for giving so much time, effort and expertise to these folks. I bet they appreciate the heck out of it.
Andrew, thanks for this and I look forward to the second chapter. I can identify, as I worked long hours for many years, and with a wife and 4 kids. I'm lucky they put up with it and hung in there with me.
How wonderful---and so like Jonathan---to pre-schedule this article, with more to come. I greatly miss him and really appreciate this "current" posting.

Thanks, Dan. Very useful. I remember these guidelines from a long time ago and made adjustments then. This has motivated me to check them again today.

Ed, your financial organization and plan for the future strike me as excellent. I'd say you're way ahead of about 99% of the population!
