Somewhere around 1980, before I hit the age of 30, I sent away for promotional info from Vanguard. This began my exposure to John Bogle's investing philosophy, and I began to invest. Some years later I ran across your WSJ writings, and thought "this Jonathan Clements guy is also pretty smart". I have been one of your very lucky readers ever since. I spent my career in a non-financial field, and I credit Jack Bogle / Jonathan Clements with explaining the truth about personal finance in a way I understood, and keeping me on track to my current state of financial independence. I cannot thank you enough, Jonathan. Well done!!! God bless you.
