Don’t Believe the Hype

Hello Scott,

I don't have a question. I just want to congratulate you on your commonsense approach to financial issues. You stand for self-responsibility, hard work, living within your means, and using time as a path to financial security. I have managed to achieve a comfortable retirement through these principles, not from any great windfall. You avoid the hype and doomsday predictions of other so-called experts and focus on what an individual can do within their own life. Well done.

Bill

Thanks Bill!

I’ve been writing this column for 11 years, and people complain and congratulate me on the exact same thing: ‘Your stuff is just common sense!’ Maybe it’s just not that common these days?
