Ramblings

UNITED STATES—It is safe to say the holiday season is going to be all over by the time you read this column and for many Americans including myself I am happy to say so. The holidays just sometimes bring a level of stress that is unwarranted and sometimes taxing on the body. The thing I expect to see during...

UNITED STATES—To be honest, I do not believe I have a hustler mentality, but people have told me if there is something I want or need I will find a way to make it happen, legally speaking people. I’m not willing to commit a crime to get something that I want. However, I think every American has a hustler’s mentality...

UNITED STATES—It is so hard to fathom that in a little less than 2 weeks Christmas will be here. I swear I have no idea what it is about the fall months that seem to move with a rapid succession. September and October are a little slow, but as soon as Halloween comes and goes, it seems like a...

UNITED STATES—Those days of the crazy long lines, camping outdoors before retailers open their doors to nab those doorbuster items that are too good to be true (sometimes you can get iconic deals people) seem like they might be in the past. Why? Things have changed since the 2020 pandemic. To be honest I think the pandemic changed our...

UNITED STATES—Thanksgiving 2022 was a bit different than previous holidays for my family. For starters, I had to work, which has become a norm for me. When you work in retail, you unfortunately don’t have much of an option, plus I don’t mind because the actual day itself is not that busy. It is an opportunity to get paid...

UNITED STATES—The holidays are upon us rather we want them to be or not. So what does that mean? Americans are spending more money people and as a result we’re going to see major credit card statements or the budget stretched to new limits as we get closer and closer to Christmas. We sometimes become so engulfed in the...

UNITED STATES—I seriously have no idea what it is about the month of November, but it seems like if you blink it flies by. Why? It feels like just a week ago it was Halloween and in less than a week the biggest cooking day of the year, Thanksgiving will be upon us America. So the big question of...

UNITED STATES—Are you ready to shop? The biggest shopping holiday of the year, Black Friday or as many people know it, the day after Thanksgiving is about a week away America. Some of those ads from those big retailers have already dropped, others are still pending and some, they might NOT even release ads this year at all, but...

UNITED STATES—Unless you’re living under a rock, you certainly know that a certain lottery drawing has hit a historic milestone. I’m talking about the Powerball Jackpot which has amounted a gargantuan $1.9 billion and is likely to strike $2 billion before the drawing takes place on Monday. I hear time and time again from so many pessimists who say,...
