Ramblings

UNITED STATES—There is one thing promised to everyone in life: death. Yes, death can be scary and while I don't fear it, I tell people time and time again that a near death experience can change you in ways that you can't always explain. I've had near death experiences and I've had family members encounter similar situations, so death...

UNITED STATES—When you think of the word deception what comes to mind? Sneaky, snake, liar, there are plenty of words that one can use when you think of the idea of deception. To be honest I like the word deception more because it's a characteristic that many more people in America embody than we'd like to believe. Let me...

UNITED STATES—I tell people time and time again, there is a major difference between being rich and being wealthy. I always consider those who aim to be rich not thinking logically. Some might ask the question why? Well, I have a bit of an analogy in life, "You can be rich on Monday and flat broke on Tuesday." Yes,...

UNITED STATES—It is a question that many people who are not so tech savvy have asked themselves rather its smarter to have a debit card or cash? It is something that I have debated for years, and I mean years people. Just 3 months ago, I finally got a debit card after being constantly annoyed by my bank. I...

UNITED STATES—It’s not until you become an adult that you begin to consider the importance of having a will. I actually learned the importance of this document while a teenager and how it can protect one’s assets and ensures those that you care about are properly taken care of. With that being said, I’ve always wondered if it is...

UNITED STATES—Maturity, it’s something so many people have plenty of trouble fathoming. Life delivers curveballs, and at some point you have to roll with the punches and be able to stand up against any obstacle that pits you in a difficult position. I know I’m going to get some slack for this, but I don’t care. I’m barely considered...

UNITED STATES—I know it’s a bit early to be talking about this, but we are less than 6 months away from Christmas people! Yes, Christmas is on the horizon and I recently read an article about the importance of money management and planning ahead as the holidays fast approach us. It raises the question, when is too soon to...

UNITED STATES—We hear a new study every 6 months noting what all Americans know, but we have yet to do anything to change it. Americans are working a lot more today, than we are sleeping. Work has become the new norm for Americans, so much to the point that we are taking less vacation time to spend with family. This...

UNITED STATES—I have to, I mean I have to talk about this. I’ve warned so many people in the past about the dangers of social media, Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, Snapchat, but the big one seems to be Twitter. Nowadays, everyone is so quick to put their two cents on any situation on Twitter; however, I’m having the biggest problem...

UNITED STATES—I hate to admit this, but things are not looking pretty on my mother’s side of the family. We have been planning a family reunion after having a ton of fun 2 years ago in Charlotte, North Carolina. Well, the reunion has moved to my hometown, but we have a major, major problem. There is so much strife...
