I will start with one statistic for the total wealth of the world and then stay focused on the United States of America. As of […]

There are certain systemic services that don’t seem to function well under capitalism. These systems were intended to benefit all citizens of the United States and help them live their lives. They seem to have evolved into a different purpose when turning a profit becomes the focus. We shouldn’t be surprised as this only makes […]

Fortunately, I am able to relate to this article somewhat and shed some real life experience as to basic costs required to live an ample life. I’m sure there are many opinions as to what “ample” is, but unless you have tried to live on an ample budget, you probably have no idea of the […]
