Jonathan - You are giving us much to consider. Thank you for sharing and taking us on your journey. I pray for you and your family and look forward to the next excerpt. All the best my friend.
Jonathan - Your note brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for taking us, your readers, on your journey. Quite possibly, one of the bravest things that you have done. I pray for hope and reconciliation for you and your family. All the best.
Many before have already expressed my sentiments. The only thing I will add is thanks for having the courage to take us on this very personal journey of yours. It is one we will all face at some point. Now your website had gone beyond providing financial life. It is now about how to live your life.
Jonathan - I am so sorry to hear of your diagnosis. But, thank you for having the courage to write and share your thoughts. It is a moment for reflection for all of us. Your HD adherents will be praying for you and hope that your situation is not as dire as you outline. In the meantime, we will continue to read and enjoy your articles. All the best my cyber friend.
The government has never done a good job with technology, so I think it will be a while before the everyone can do their taxes through the IRS. One option for tax preparation is the AARP Foundation in conjunction with the IRS sponsors free tax preparation done by accredited volunteers. I have been a volunteer for two years and find it very rewarding to help those who can't afford a CPA. The link to find out more is: https://www.aarp.org/money/taxes/aarp_taxaide/
Thanks for your 7 years of providing great content. Congratulations. And on your point of the comment section. You are so right about the negative vibe. As many of your readers do, I read your former employers' newspaper. The comment section on some of the articles is downright nasty. Consequently, I no longer read them. Continued good health and success in 2024
JC - Thank you for this article. I look forward to your Saturday wisdom and this one was amazing. You are part financial advisor and part sage. Thanks for all you do with the website. Happy New Year to you and your family.
I enjoy the website very much and love your articles. I always read your posts. This was an interesting one. It's like the stages of grief. I have been happily retired for 5 1/2 years. Fortunately, I have a pension and robust savings. And I don't feel a loss of relevance as I have a great circle of friends and family and have lots activities that I enjoy as well as watching my grandchildren. It's important to have a "life" outside of your career. Most of us do not have the control over our work lives, so it's important to have a balance to that. Pls keep writing. You are an inspiration to many! All the best.
Tanvir - Great article. Like you, I cut my investment teeth in the financial crisis of 08-09. I didn't sell and kept "walking" and now am retired with a sizeable nest egg. Today, I'm not selling. In fact, I have been buying all the way down in this market with some pretty good stocks. it's hard to buy when everyone is selling, but experience tells us otherwise.

That indeed was a great article. Today's generation needs to understand more history to get perspective. Things can always be worse...and they were.
