Cheers!

On the April Fool’s post regarding money mistakes, I noticed a few others as well as myself mentioning student loans as an issue. Education is a pretty big investment, one I think too many of us go into not fully aware of the risk we’re taking. I know I certainly did. JD, do you have any knowledge on the subject that could maybe lead to a literacy month post? I know there may be some legislation in the works regarding the repayment of student loans. Are you familiar with that at all? Rather, is anyone? My loans are on forebearance right now, but even when the payments kick back in as interest only, it’s more than any other payment I have each month (including rent, or car payment, or car insurance). My lamenting aside, I think student loans and paying for higher education could be an interesting financial literacy month post.

Thanks for all your great work JD, and congrats on the book!!

I’ve started reading your blog early last year and I am so glad I subscribe to your blog post. I’m only 23 years old and I feel like I am a bit wiser than my friends when it comes to generally taking care of my money.

I have started working for 2 years now and I am proud to say that because of your words and financial wisdom, I have avoided living paycheck to paycheck because I have what you have taught me “emergency funds”, “leisure funds”, “travel fund” saved bit by bit!

Thank you J.D.! It’s a tough world out here but you have helped me a lot!

Taing a good hard look at my finances, and fixing them, have changed my life in ways I cannot even begin to count.

I believe you under-estimate yourself; being such a modest individual you simply cannot fathom how much of a truly wonderful resource you have become to those of us whom pined to gain a sound financial education.

This attainment of knowledge is key to a sustainable financial life yet is rarely mentioned in much more common media outlets as well as educational environments.

Thank You again on behalf of all of us for the incaculable amount of hard work and effort you have put in all of these past years –
You may only be one individual, but your words of wisdom and links have touched and improved the lives of thousands.

Take Care.

PS. I can honestly attest to likely being one of the ONLY individuals on here who has read each and EVERY one of those GRS posts. Cheers to the liberty of self-employment

Thanks again for all that you do.

Bookmarked!

Since one of your basic tenets is “money is more about the mind” maybe a few articles about finding balance (and frugal friends, negotiating with relatives, etc.) would be an interesting new thing on that list.
