Society & Lifestyle > Personal Morals & Values Who are you to judge others?: 9 of 101

Judge and ye will be judged. This is pretty logical thinking as everyone I have ever met who has been judgmental is always in the hot seat. Playing judge and jury is great until you are in the defendant's chair. Who are you to judge as life on its own is a tough thing to negotiate? Watch how you put yourself in a position of...

Personal Finance > Financial Planning The basics of financial planning: 7 of 20

One of the worse things I ever heard in financial planning came about 8 years ago. I had a personal financial consultant come over to my house and sit down with me to discuss my plans. He asked me how much would me and my wife was making now. Let's say I said $5,000.00 a month. He then asked me the stupidest thing I have eve...
