I want to wish everyone who travels through the website a Happy Thanksgiving. !!
The older I get the more I realize how thankful I am for almost everything in my life.
In particular I am thankful for having relatively good health–its hard to enjoy life if your health is going ‘south’. I am thankful for my wife who is more concerned with my health than I am and sees to it that I don’t do too many foolish activities.
I am thankful for our 5 kids and their families. While we have some of the normal family trials and tribulations for the most part our kids and their families are good, productive members of society and we are proud of them all. The 9 grandchildren, who range in age from 2 months to 21 are all a joy to us and keep us plenty busy with all their activities.
I am thankful to have a roof over my head, food in the pantry and an income that allows us to live relatively comfortably. It hasn’t always been this way so I can appreciate not having to lay awake nights worrying how to pay the mortgage.
And I am really thankful to all our readers and contributors to this website. This website was never intended to be such a big ‘project’, but here we are 18 years later (8 since this site began and 10 before that on “The Yield Hunter’) just trucking right along. These websites would not have survived without the near perfect contributions of all the readers and commenters –the self policing of comments relative to politics.
With the above I am thankful for those that have ‘donated’ to the financial support of the site. While no one will get rich on a donation site, it is really helpful to have contributions which cover the operation of a 6,000 page site. Without the contributions just the normal costs of a large website would be unbearable for someone to withstand. So thanks to those generous folks.
I hope all of you have as many reasons as I do to be thankful–so Happy Thanksgiving!!
Thanks you for the great web site.
I’m thankful for Tim’s efforts, all that III does for an investor (like me), and fellow commenters.
I’ve survived two serious threats to my health- one started in 2018 and seems to be at bay, the other Jan-Mar this year, resulted in almost two wks in the hospital, and 6 wks in physical rehab after a weird sepsis / infection resulting in surgery around the spine and my collar bone– who gets that? Me, I guess. But, I’m recovered, and in some ways in better shape than before- mainly due to use of my weight machine, biking, and use of the elliptical. Yes- health can be everything. So, I have a lot to be thankful for (including most of my 80 yrs).
Does that make me the oldest here? 😉
Happy Thanksgiving– wishing you all to be well.
Thank you, Tim, and to everyone on this site.
Thanks Tim. I’m very thankful for you, your website, and all of the contributors. Happy holiday season to all!
Thank you for everything you do Tim.
Happy Thanksgiving to all…
I am thankful to you and your efforts to provide useful info and wise commentaries, I wish you good health and to continue in the same spirit, thanks.
