Receipts Are Important People

UNITED STATES—Whenever you buy something, you always get a receipt. For most people, they keep the receipt until they get home, than it’s tossed in the trash. I’m going to share something with you that many of you might think is bonkers crazy. For the past 12 months, I have KEPT every single receipt of any item (including food)...

Family Time Is The Best!

UNITED STATES—We have all heard the saying that family is the most important thing in life, but how many of us actually live up to that assertion?

Jury Duty Calls Yet Again

UNITED STATES—I’m sorry, but I’m going to say it: I hate jury duty. This is not so much about having to perform a civic duty because I do not mind it. My frustration comes with the fact that I am CONSTANTLY, and I mean constantly called for jury duty in a given year. I mean I get called by...

Glorious Christmas Memories

UNITED STATES—Man I cannot believe it Christmas is literally less than 2 weeks away.
