Enjoyed the article as well. Thanks for posting it. I've noticed that often the posts on this board that get the most discussion are the ones where you get the person's story or history.

Just another way of saying there are no magic bullets, just 'boring' hard work and persistence, and keeping an eye on the goal.

A good reminder of what matters to the average person.

I agree witih creditcardfree that the most interesting threads are those where someone is asking for help with their personal situation.

I love Humberto Cruz. My local paper used to carry his column on Sundays. They stopped a while back. Every so often I'll look up his articles online.
