What I Bought With My Tax Refund
The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is slave of the lender. If you use a credit card, you must watch this video. It’s 4 years old, but still rings true: For those of you who just want a quick preview: Mmm’k, on with the post. Background I don’t write much here about [...]
