Interesting article. Jones' other contribution to finance was that he held 2 jobs. By day a teacher, by night he was a dealer in rare antiquities, robbing tombs and graves and selling to museums. I think his biggest contribution was his work ethic, taking his passion in a creative new financial direction, etc.-Ed.

@ Mrs Micah – Getting to know yourself is a lifelong goal (well, should be). In that is how you are with personal finance.

I don’t think you ever say too much!

Good stuff and I like Hank’s point too. I sometimes feel like I say it too much, but knowing yourself—knowing what you’re good at, what your risk tolerance is, what you want—is key to personal finance. Or getting to know yourself, since I don’t think we really ever fully know ourselves.

@ Greener Pastures – You’re right. He always has his mind in order which helps him decide (though some things he does seems questionable at the time).

@ Sarah – Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!

@ Hank – True. He knows his skills and uses them to the best of his abilities.

@ Sara – Great insight Sara! I have to figure out a way to work part of the year and globe-trot the rest!
