I have never had the honor of meeting Jonathan Clements, but I have long admired his work. From his many years writing for The Wall Street Journal to his more recent project HumbleDollar, his insights and writing style have always stood out. HumbleDollar is honestly the perfect name, as he comes across as a genuinely good person with wise money insights.

So sharing this link fills me with mixed emotions. 

The C Word

On the one hand, the news of his personal medical struggle is a real punch to the gut. But on the other, he shares that news with his characteristic grace and humility that I can only hope to emulate in my own life. Even in adversity he still manages to teach. 

No matter where things go from here, I think there's no better way to honor his many contributions to the world than to encourage everyone to read his work. So don't just read Jonathan's current story. Check out HumbleDollar and read the whole thing. It's full of great wisdom.

Life is short, and it's important to appreciate your many blessings while you can. Jonathan -- you're truly the best.
