I don’t think my kids have a good concept of money for being in middle school. It’s not like I had some kind of unrealistic understanding of economics when I was 13 by comparison, but at the same time I didn’t insist on pressing my parents all the time to spend exorbitant amounts of money […]
Last week, I was chatting with my dad, and he said that he scheduled an air duct cleaning with a local company. Of course, I asked him why he needed his air ducts cleaned. He mentioned that his friend had gotten his ducts cleaned and he recommended that my dad do the same. Well, I […]
