Value can also be found by comparing oneself to those born disabled and the less fortunate. Learning to lift those in need up can be a much better substitute than comparing oneself to another's achievements.
Social media breeds lazy thinking and this lack of thinking has reached epidemic proportions. Decades of declining K-12 public school educational outcomes and millions of colleges students with massive debt and horrible in demand skill sets validate the massive lazy thinking realities

Mr Clements, your writing gift is your clarity, your consistent wisp of genuineness. and everyman counselor abilities. Reading your column was like having a cup of coffee with a wise friend. Thank you.
(Btw, your "Humble Dollar" articles are that 2nd cup of coffee).
JC, another well written article. Thank you.
Perhaps the greatest long term wealth allocation for 90% of investors is their real estate. Imo, the fundamental question really ought to include stocks, bonds, and real estate long term value holdings of an investor, not only stocks and bonds.
In your opinion are buying declining stocks a better long term fundamental hedge than buying bonds? Thanks again
Decades of weaknesses related Fed Gov't Medicare-Medicaid eligibility, expense controls and accountability have all created structural and criminal inefficiencies with chronic fraud outcomes. These outcomes are increasing costs - it's cost inflation masked as fraud.

In the end the most important asset that anyone has is what money cannot buy. Households and schools should instill this from birth.
