Jonathan, Like so many of the other people commenting here, I have read your work since your Wall Street Journal days, and have purchased and read your books and given them as gifts to friends and family graduating from college. In fact, the night before reading of your diagnosis I was recommending "How To Think About Money" to a friend of a friend. Also like so many of the other people commenting here, I can say that your advice has enabled me to be in a position where I can do many things (trip to Africa most recently) without really worrying too much about about how much they cost. And the fact that we are almost exactly the same age gave your perspective a special relevance. So "thank you" seems inadequate. I can only add one more voice to the many hundreds of voices here who are living examples that you've had a great, positive impact on people's lives and I hope that knowledge brings you both joy and comfort.
