I had a great trip to Boston a few weeks ago. Boston is in every way the classic American city. Since I was in town for business I was only able to do any sight seeing in the evenings. My first evening there I walked around Harvard square, and drove through and past MIT, Harvard, [...]

Well maybe I’m a little more nuts than most because I consciously think about these things and the themes and lessons that are being taught.

Its amazing what good things really do come to those that wait. I learned early in my life to plan ahead for big expenses and to keep from making spontaneous purchases on a whim. This new year set clear goals in each aspect of your life. As to your financial plans write down a budget and set expectations for savings, vacations, and large purchases. Make 2010 the very best year of your life!
