Happy Birthday, Taylor!

You created numerous collections of investment gems, but your own contributions to the Forum are gems in their own right. From instilling the civility in this community from its inception, to holding our hands during the great recession, to offering a common-sense advice where the rest of us lose the forest behind the trees--your presence here is an enormous gift.

Thank you for being you,

Taylor, congratulations on this significant life milestone, but just as remarkable is how you continue to contribute wisdom and advice to users of this forum that you helped to found all those years ago. Many lives, including my own, have been favorably impacted by your contributions, and speaking for literally thousands, thank you for that service to your fellow investors.

May you enjoy many more healthy and productive years!

"When the Student is Ready, the Teacher Appears." - those words could not ring more true than the day I came across this website, a website that has forever changed not just my life, but thousands upon thousands of countless other life's who were ready, and that Teacher Taylor Larimore appeared!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAYLOR - Special wishes to you on YOUR DAY, the anniversary of your life. As you spend time with friends and family reflecting on your life - remember the entire Boglehead family is there with you celebrating in spirit!!!

I've learned much from you, Mr. Larimore. Enjoyed your book and enjoy your posts.

Reaching ninety is a major accomplishment. But I'm informed that the next ninety years usually proceed smoothly.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Taylor,

You're an inspiration to someone anticipating purchasing 30-year TIPS well into their 60's and beyond, with every expectation of cashing them in at maturity! Your wisdom and civility set the tone for this wonderful forum. All the best, and keep on keeping on. ☺

Hi Taylor,

I still remember your welcoming me to the Boglehead's forum on my very first post, and then I finally had the pleasure to meet you at last years Boglehead's 13 get together.

From one old soldier to another, I salute you, and I wish you a very happy birthday.

Happy Birthday, Taylor.

I appreciate your kind spirit and generosity with your time. I've learned a great deal from you. I also honor your service in WWII! I think of you often in December and meditate on your sacrifices in 1944! You have had a positive impact in so many ways.

God bless you.

Taylor, may I be the 90th Boglehead to wish you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! (ah, it was a 3-way tie; these posts were going up faster than e-bay bidding!)

I read most of your posts, no matter what the topic, as I'm curious what your wisdom will be. And when I feel tempted to tack off-course or chase performance or a new financial approach, I go back and read some Taylor Larimore wisdom to get back on that even keel...

Know that you continue to make a positive difference for so many of us. Enjoy your special day with your loved ones!

Taylor,

Happy Birthday!

You have reached out to so many of us and we have learned much from you.
Thank you - for your wisdom as well as for your courage.

Thanks to you, whenever I consider 'surrendering' to the market madness, I recall the simple response of your commanding general so many years ago: "NUTS!"

Thank you, Taylor

All I can say is thanks Taylor for all the hard work you put in to helping others without getting anything back in return.

Maybe the best compliment I can give is that reading your posts (even though I don't always agree with them) conveys a level of wisdom that we all appreciate.

Your the man!! Looking forward to your 95th in several years so you better not slow down now!!

Good luck.
