I am working and still a good number of years to go before thinking about when to retire. Thus, 100% equity for the last many years already and will keep doing so for at least another 10 years or so.
Thanks for this beautiful article, Andrew. Even though I never had the chance to meet Jonathan in person, I am very grateful that he and I had the opportunity to exchange emails. He was a wonderful person.
Many of our lives are better because of his generosity in sharing his knowledge and wisdom, including through founding HumbleDollar.com. Thank you for sharing this beautiful tribute.
I immigrated here when I was 16. Very grateful to have the opportunity to attend high school in Brooklyn, then college in Chicago area. This is truly a land of opportunitie, and a nation of immigrants. Let's never forget that, as we continue building a more perfect union. Thank you, America!
Thanks for sharing, Andrew. Jonathan was a very kind and generous person. Let's all pay it forward, as many had paid it forward during Jonathan's early journey. Thank you.
Hi Adam, thanks for another insightful article! I totally agree with you that "investors are best served by choosing diversified index funds rather than trying to pick individual stocks". I spent most of my professional career with a Fortune 500 company. The company many years ago was even the most valuable company in the world. Now it is just a fractional of its former self. Today's winners can easily be tomorrow's losers. For us as average retail inventors, we should take the long view with most of our portofilo in index funds, then perhaps 5% or less as the "fun money" to pick or invest in whatever crazy things we want to. Thank you for your weekly lead articles to keep HD.com going strong.
Hi Mark, you have a great sense of humor. I cracked up reading, “Apparently the Vinted business model includes free delivery, and it turns out I am the free delivery.” Hey, happy wife, happy life!

totally agree, Mr. Quinn. I like to joke with family and friends that "Costco should be call half-paycheck."
