Earlier this year I published a post detailing the first of 3 vacations I had planned for 2019 (after surviving 2018 without one).

I have written before on the many beneficial aspects of blogging. By far my most favorite aspect of blogging is the social interaction.

I am going to let you in on a little secret: There is one asset that trumps all others, and I highly suggest you invest in it. Is it stocks? Is it bonds? Must be real estate, right? No to all of the above. The greatest asset I can think of and the one with […]

That works out to 27,776.5 days + 19 extra days for Leap Years for a grand total of 27,795.5 days or 40,025,520 minutes. Given […]
