Mark: Thank you for sharing your harrowing story, and I’m so glad you and your wife were able to navigate through it. It just reminds us of the truth stated in Proverbs 22:7, where it says…”And the borrower becomes the lender’s slave.”
Jonathan: I also just discovered Humble Dollar about a year ago and read about your health issues around that time. I wanted to let you know that I have been praying for you and your wife as you travel this difficult path. Humble Dollar is one of the few subscriptions I get that I make sure I read, because the content is quite valuable. I just retired at the end of last December and the great articles you have provided helped me in planning for this important phase of life. Now that I am almost 71, I spend more time thinking about the fact that my life on this earth is finite, and it is important to me that I use that time well, as you also have mentioned. Your perspective on the brevity of life here has helped me fine-tune my perspective as well. I will continue praying for you, that your remaining days may be rich. Eben Fowler.
