This sentence from the report shows the fantastic response to Jonathan's great idea: "Please note that given the outpouring of contributions and the time needed to build out the program, the Bogle Center isn’t seeking additional funds for the Clements Initiative at this time."
The Stones' lyrics I reflect on are: "I have my freedom, but I don’t have much time". We all have plenty of things we'd like to do after retiring or when we have "enough", but what we don't know is the amount of time we'll have to do those things. As others have noted, best to get started on doing those things we'd like to do!
I would really like to buy some individual stocks with my AmEx card and start carrying over a high balance from month to month. The stock gains should offset any interest charges, right?
Marc: comfortable is the exact word I was thinking of as I read Richard's interesting essay. Rich and wealthy, to me, seem like bragging about one's financial picture. So, I am comfortable with comfortable.

Better to be getting older rather than the alternative!
