We Live Like Kings

Below I have reposted an article I read on Fee (Foundation for Economic Education). I often reiterate these same notions to myself and to my wife as we casually take for granted the conveniences and advances of modern life. The most obvious one to me always seems to hit me while I am eating at …

Why Do You Have A Panic Room?

Why doesn't everyone have a panic room? Seriously? If I am playing Devil's advocate there are 2 big reasons NOT to have a panic room. Reason #1, there is no need for a panic room. Reason #2, it either costs too much or takes too much effort to create a panic room. I will address these …

My Windfall and ME

Finally, we closed on the inherited house. The check is in the bank (but has not cleared yet). After we pay some money owed to the friends who bought the house and to my sister-n-law who co-owned it, we clear $ 132,000. Now we get to allocate/spend it, this is the FUN PART. If you …

All For Naught

I really thought I had something here, a random note in a spiral notebook from 15 years ago. A capital 'L' lead that would translate into a solid post that was relevant to two different threads on my blog. I personally do not blog posts like "Top 10 Most Common Currency Denominations". I tend to …
