    • Excellent article Bruce. I also found that two buckets instead of three is easier to manage. One for growth which is invested in stocks (mostly mutual and index funds) and another for safety which is in cash & bonds (bond mutual funds, T Bills and a money market fund). I also found that getting into and out of activities is much easier when you’re retired and no longer workings. Thanks for your thoughtful article.

    • Wonderful article Erik. Thank you for writing about the best benefit of following the Humble Dollar investing theme of living within your means and saving over many years….. That we now enjoy giving our money away to help others. What a joy that is.

    • Excellent article Austin. Thanks for taking the time to write it. Knowing our net worth is helpful for all ages, particularly as a savings motivator when we’re younger, and a guide for how much we can give away to others when older and retired. Seeing our net worth decline each year as more goes to charity and family (and less to future inheritance/estate taxes) is even more satisfying than saving and watching it grow during our working years. What a blessing to follow the Humble Dollar theme of “living within your means and investing wisely over many years” because now we enjoy sharing our excess with others.
