Thanks for sharing your health situation, Jonathan. My heart goes out to you and your family. Your trusted financial wisdom over the past three decades has meant so much to me and many others. You continue to inspire us with your strength and resilience. Canceling donations is a kind act, further demonstrating your exemplary character. We believe in your ability to face this challenge with the same courage you have always shown.
Great story Dave. Thanks for sharing Being older now, I tend to live by the motto "failure is always an option". That lets me reach for something I'm not sure of still mindful of the downside. Turns out I mostly win these bets :)
Respectfully, this idea of "take in one way or another" isn't my experience. Many people dedicate their lives in this country for decades to make it great. Thank the teachers for their service in making us smarter, the people who invented things that make the world a better place, the life savers in medical care, etc...
Thanks for your informative post. I do appreciate knowing about the military career options and stats. I'm particularly unsettled about this $30.7 Trillion debt, especially with rising interest rates. I know the suggestion is that Politicians are to blame. Those rascals are hard to discipline. Ike said "Beware of the industrial military complex" 62 years ago. I'm guessing they might be involved in this scheme as well. I hope we can stay afloat
Some might find, like me, that group discussions are especially difficult with background noise. My audiologist described that environment as "trying to solve the most difficult problem". I'm mild-moderate and quit wearing Costco Phonak in group settings b/c they don't help.
After fighting for more than a month in the hospital, my father told me he wanted to die. We talked about a few days earlier, but this time, I agreed. Thankfully a kind nurse told me that the combination of morphine and Ativan is like 1+1 = 3. Press the pump button every 10 minutes and 6 hours later he passed. I am forever thankful to that nurse.
