Move Your Money – Good Idea or Latest Fad?

This movement seems to be catching on.   There is a link in the article to check the banks in your zip code.  What are your thoughts about this movement’s chance of success?  Will it make a difference or are they just Don Quixote chasing those windmills?

MANCESSION -The New Reality or Just a Blip in Time?

Interesting article and very scary at the same time.  Can America survive this and if so, what will our country look like in 5 -10 years?  Will more women be working and the men become stay-at-home manwives?  Now there is a thought.

Costa Rica: The Land of Contented Citizens…

Kristof offers that Costa Rica ranks highest among the happiest countries in the world.  The beautiful coasts may have something to do with this.  Also, Costa Rica in 1949 disbanded their army and started devoting money to education.

Costa Ricans rank high on any of the methods employed to measure such variables as happiness.  See Kristof’s editorial here.

Honestly, if I had to choose between spending next week in Kansas or Costa Rica, I don’t believe the decision would be at all difficult for me.
