Mr. Clements, I have been following your advice since reading your column from the Wall Street Journal published in the Minneapolis Tribune in 2003 and on. I clipped the columns that I liked best and still have them.The other person I saved columns from was Humberto Cruz who wrote for the Orlando Sun Sentinel. Despite that information I did invest money with a friend who is a financial advisor. After a number of years when I filed a required financial report for the state of Wisconsin due to my employment I looked up the cost of the funds. Oh my goodness, some of them were 2 1/2% on top of the 1%fee. As you noted in a book you wrote, It’s hard to tell a friend that you’re going quit using them because they’re too expensive. But my wife and I did. Lesson learned, keep following the good advice that is simple and not complicated. Both you. and Mr. Cruz’s columns were easy to understand and contained practical advice, I just have to follow it. Thank you.
