History is being written at this very moment. And I’d like to go on record that I believe between today (Sept. 23th, 2011) and the end of 2015 (possibly sooner) our world will be forever changed. Our financial world that is. And as “money makes the world go round,” a financial collapse this time round,…
I have always loved games. I enjoyed playing Mario Brothers back in the day and in my 20s I got into some PC games such as F.E.A.R. and Crysis but, for me, there’s nothing like a good board game. Board games are so much more than games. They are social events. I still remember the…
Normally when I’m about write another entry here on this blog, it is because during the day something that has made me think of an idea that I feel would be of interest to you, the readers. I plunk myself down in front of the computer screen and start typing away. I start with my…

Each year, regardless of whether it’s advice on English, computers, time management,…
Economics – for some people this word is painful. It drags up incomprehensible language and concepts. Me, I could hardly wait for my first economics class. After all I was good at math and liked history so I felt that economics would fit me like a glove. Errrr, nope. There were lots of graphs and…
Today I’m going to break from the norm here on this site. Normally I talk about things like money or time management, then there’s the occasional inspirational story or two, and sometimes I throw in one or two success tips that I pick up. But today I’m going to focus on dealing with teenagers. While…
2005 everything was great. The stock market was strong. Housing was booming. People had money. People were happy. But that was then. Today it’s a very different picture. Ever since Lehman Brothers crashed people have been on edge. And for good reason. It was the greatest bankruptcy in history – $691 billion. I describe it…
