As a young professional with a young family, I remember reading Jonathan in the WSJ and wondering to myself “how am I ever going to be able to do this?” I had no money and came from nothing, but I kept on reading and then I found something I could do. It may have been put 2% into the 401(k), and I kept reading and kept finding other things I could do and obviously my income start growing, but things were always tight. But I kept reading and kept trying to find things to do then start reading Jason and now I’m 66 and retired for four years and I’m so comfortable I try to find things to spend money on. I would say Jonathan
was probably the biggest influence on our retirement success. Thank you! My condolences and best wishes to his family.
