Thank you, Andrew, for your kind words, and for your beautifully written contributions. HumbleDollar would not be thriving without its community's continued participation and reader engagement, loyal and outstanding writers like Adam Grossman, and committed HD team members Bogdan and James for their managing and technical support and expertise. I think Jonathan would be proud.
Per my many conversations with Jonathan, he believed HD was primarily a retirement website with the demographic being mid-career to late career, close to retirement, or currently in retirement. I know there are readers from all sorts of backgrounds (not all college educated) and professions, a majority of which followed Jonathan from the WSJ. And, with a range of net worths that represent the varying levels of "enough" to achieve "financial freedom." So, use that information as you will. No need at this point for any kind of formal demographic analytics.
All I can say is that my husband Jonathan Clements suggested if I ever needed to get expertise on various aspects of my investments, IRAs or other accounts, Vanguard Personal Advisor was the way to go. And I trust him.

Thank you Dan. No apologies necessary. I knew when I committed to Jonathan he came with his child, HumbleDollar.

Yes, Jonathan did write one novel, 48 and Counting: A Story of Money, Love and Bicycling. One of his retirement plans was to do more creative writing. But sadly, we all know that was not meant to be.

Also, this post does not adhere to the Forum rules for posting. The question should have gone directly to Bogdan.

Well, the thanks goes to Jonathan, who pre-scheduled a number of posts during his last couple of months.

I have not used them yet. But, when the time comes and I need advice, Jonathan told me to use them, which I will. Sorry I can't be of more help.
