  I am not sure why but people ask me about current events; maybe it is because I am an information junkie, maybe it is because I work in the financial world, or maybe, just maybe, it is because I always have an opinion! Well lately, I have been discussing/arguing with friends, family members and have Continue reading Middle America got what it Demanded and the Dow Drops 777 Points! NICE WORK!

While reading some of my favorite blogs, I came across a great blog, No Debt Plan (which I admittedly don’t think I have ever read before). It turns out, Kevin, was struggling whether to purchase a CD, a few days before, and his eventual decision was made subsequent to my post on the subject. I thought it would Continue reading The Certificate of Deposit Debate Rages on!
