Overworked

How about feeling like no matter how hard you work, you still have a ton of work that you still haven’t gotten completed? Yeah, we’ve...
Eating Healthy Is Your Choice

Summer Is Over Already
UNITED STATES—I tell this to people all the time, summer seems like the quickest season. I mean it’s already August and I was just talking about July last week. It seems like you really only have 6 weeks of summer compared to the actual 3 months so many people know we actually get. I guess I don’t consider it...
Family Dysfunction

Baby Blues

Save Money Anyway You Can
UNITED STATES—I love to say money and I am not afraid to shout it out to the world. People sometimes call me cheap or overly frugal and I don’t see it that way at all.

Technology Detachment
UNITED STATES—I almost wish I could rewind time nearly 30 years ago, a time where technology was advancing, but not as advanced as it is now. It seems the world of technology is ever advancing, so much to the point that doing typical banking is no longer the same. It raises a very important question as to why technology...
