Jonathan,
Thanks so much for all your efforts here and our prayers for your mental & physical strength! I have one thought to help keep things "alive" on the site. Can you arrange for your deputy or new site manager to send out a regular update or "what's new" email? I can't speak for others, but life is hectic and I seldom visit any of the many forums that interest me unless something triggers my interest and reminds me of all the good articles I'm missing.

Jonathan,
I'd quibble a bit with #6. Index funds, regardless of how inexpensive they are, still charge annual fees. Buying 10, 100 or 1000 shares of Apple or dozens of well known, stable companies costs nothing. Nothing to buy them, nothing to hold (forever) & nothing when it's time to sell. I'm not recommending anyone risk their retirement on "Uncle Bob's Fancy Chicken Shack", but there are plenty of obviously well run companies out there. (In fact, those index funds are full of them.)
