“The One Safe Investment and Why You Never Hear About It From Financial Advisors”
When I was a kid…(and no im not that old)….i had a savings account that earned (that’s right “earned”) 8.25%. The banking industry did away with that and I’m sure they’d say it was for our own good. So now if we need liquid cash we must borrow it….no dipping into the savings.
This article features a different way to think about investments and earnings that seems to make sense but is very different from our current way of thinking…what do you think? Fuzzy math, fact or fiction….?
Studio III architects presents Hero Wednesday
The soaring ideals, convictions and passion of youth….we all leave our esteemed academic vacuums only to meet the truth of the professional world. This truth would be the gulf between theory and practice….that school was an effort to teach you to think and motivate for the loftiest goals possible…to do something great for this world, to make a difference….and then you meet the reality of business and start to grind out a career. Rock star designers right out of school do exist and Jessica Walsh is one of very few who has proven it’s not just a fairy tale.
