Hi, and welcome to the Longview. I'm Christine Ben's Director of Personal Finance and Retirement Planning for Morningstar.

Today on the podcast, we welcome back Jonathan Clements.

Jonathan was one of our first guests when we launched this podcast, and today marks his third appearance.

He's the founder and editor of Humble Dollar, and he has written or edited several books about money and investing,

including My Money Journey and How to Think About Money.

Earlier in his career, Jonathan spent almost 20 years at the Wall Street Journal,

where he was the newspaper's personal finance columnist, and six years at Citigroup,

where he was Director of Financial Education for the bank's U.S. wealth management arm.

This past June, Jonathan shared his devastating recent cancer diagnosis, and he's been writing

candidly about the experience on Humboldt Dollar.

We'll link to those posts in the show notes.

I wanted to conduct today's interview solo because Jonathan's work has been hugely influential

to me personally,

and he also wrote the forward to my forthcoming book. I couldn't be more grateful.

Jonathan, welcome back to the Longview.

Christine, it's my pleasure, Eric. Thanks for having me back on.
