Jonathan,
Wow, this article sure shook me up. I'm so stunned after reading it twice, there's still a part of me wondering what the C word is in personal finance. I don't know you personally yet I feel like I've just heard the bad news from a mentor and ally. I'm a long-time reader of HD and a regular listener of your podcast with Peter Mallouk.
We're close in age. I'm a former journalist. I've always admired the clarity of your writing style and the creativity that brings freshness to each article reinforcing the Humble Dollar way. It's also been fun to see how you welcomed so many to share their experiences on HD and taught them to be good writers. I've never mistaken their personal stories for the bland blah-blah of AI.
Thank you for being my Professor of Personal Finance and teaching me "How to Think About Money." You've helped me and my family and I couldn't be more grateful. I look forward to more life lessons in the months ahead and will keep your writing at hand in the years to come. Now, is there any way you could re-write this piece and have the C stand for Cash, College, Compound Interest...?
