Taking Apart the $819 Billion
This graphic helps make sense of all that money. Sometimes it is awfully useful to see such things.


Walking Out on the Speaker

    The Path to Contentment

    I wonder if you have ever considered that the solution to discontentment almost always seems to be more. If I only had more money I would be content.
