I have been giving this subject a lot of thought lately. After I read “Should Schools have Money Management Classes?,” an excellent post from Fortune Watch, I am finally going to write about this. As far as I can tell, there are two “real life” subjects being taught in high schools today: human [...]
On our vacation this past weekend, my wife and I ate out a lot. This was probably the most expensive part of our trip. Being from Thailand, eating out is an entirely different experience. Over there, portions are much smaller and less expensive. Whereas here in the U.S., portions are usually [...]
