I started reading your column in college in the 80s and I have to say it was a big influence on me. I try to influence every young person to adopt your simple investment philosophy starting with saving to invest. I tell the story of driving home from work in Oct. 19th,1987 and hearing on the radio the Dow dropped 22% which was about $10K of my $50K portfolio. As bad as it was, I hung in there and today my 7 digit portfolio typically can move $10K up or down in a day and it is immaterial.

Good read I can relate too. I have had to cut down on running, start road biking, and slowing down on my dirtbike to avoid injury in my 60s.
