Without fully realizing our children would one day ask me to help them with their math homework, my wife and I started a family. For about eight years, everything was going great. We had three beautiful, healthy kids who showed signs of intelligence and not one of them asked me anything about fractions or if… Read More»
Funny man Henny Youngman liked to say, “I’ve got all the money I’ll ever need—if I die by four o’clock.” A whole lot of us often feel the same way. When I got married at the ripe age of 22, I was living on straight commission as an insurance salesman. Every month was a financial… Read More»
