I put up a post last night which was intended to serve as an inspiration. Instead, many of you were offended by it.
While I had spent a great deal of time considering that post before publishing it and had re-written it a few different times in hopes it would be conveyed in the way it was intended, nevertheless, my words fell short and were a burden rather than a blessing to many of you.
I’ve deleted the post, but I wanted to publicly ask those of you who were offended or hurt by it to please forgive me. It is inevitable that I’m not going to please everyone as a blogger, but my hope is that the vast majority of you will be inspired by what I share. I never want to come across as though I’ve “arrived” or am somehow better or more capable at this financial thing. I have many, many shortcomings and have made and continue to make many mistakes. I just hope to share from our own personal experience — failures and successes — in a way which will encourage you in your financial journey.
Thank you for reading here. Thank you for your encouragement to me. And thank you for bearing with me when I’m not always the best communicator. I’m blessed to have you all as readers!
I’m closing off comments on this post, but please feel free to write personally if you need clarification on anything.
