Door to Door Scams

I know these exist, but for whatever reason in my brain I forget about them when it happens to me. We live in a new neighborhood so last summer we got person after person after person trying to sell us home alarm systems. Of course after they would leave, I would feel stupid because what [...]

What Is A Good Decision?

I talked to my baby brother earlier this week and he shared his purchase of a new vehicle for his family. They had a car that suited them – it was two door and he and his wife have two children. My sister in law stays home with the kids and one is in school. [...]
