Knight Kiplinger
Celebrating 100 Years of The Kiplinger Letter

AS a reader of the personal finance advice in this magazine and at Kiplinger.com, you probably know our long Kiplinger tradition of accuracy, clear writing and, above all, utility—practical information to help you live better.

When this magazine was founded more than 75 years ago, it followed in the footsteps of its famous big brother, The Kiplinger Letter, which for 25 years had been providing advice to clients for managing their businesses and professional affairs. The Kiplinger Magazine, launched in 1947, was designed to give people advice on man aging their personal affairs, especially their household budgets, taxes and investments. It was a pioneer of today’s personal finance journalism.

This fall marks the 100th an niversary of The Kiplinger Letter, the oldest and still most widely read business newsletter in the world. Thousands of men and women rely on the Letter for forecasts and advice to help them manage their enterprises and their personal investments. I, in the third generation of journalist Kiplingers, am honored to serve as editor emeritus of the Letter and this magazine.
