Building Family Wealth: Money Is Not Enough
Money experts are everywhere! That’s a good thing. Many of us come from families where extra money is spent on needs that cannot be set aside. At the end of the week (or end of the paycheck), sometimes, there is only enough money for carfare and gas to last until the next paycheck.

Overcoming Procrastination
Well... I, uh... Oh, I think Seinfeld reruns are on now. I don’t have anything going on Thursday, so I’ll probably sit down and write something then. Of course, Thursdays are when I like to go jogging in the park, and after jogging I like eating Chinese food, which makes me sleepy.

Minimum Wage
With the economy in the gutter we can only ask ourselves how we as a country can improve it. How we as residential citizens may be affected in the short run and in the long run. Like always we as citizens are worried mostly about how our lifestyles may change with decisions made by policy makers and other government officials. We try to analyze every aspect about our economic lifestyles and question policies such as health care, taxes, tariffs and trades. It is certain that there needs to be change to improve and push our economy forward. However, what we change is the bigger issue, only the policies that are impacting society in a greater negative way rather than a positive one need change. Raising minimum wage has been in the radar of a lot politician’s campaigns and has been a very important topic in public opinion. Whether we should raise it or not has been one of more notorious debates and I believe that we as a country should fight and vote to keep and raise minimum wage in accordance to the constant growth of inflation.

Not All Sales Jobs Are Created Equal
I still remember my first job in commission based sales. I was selling pillows and e-cigarettes at wildly marked up prices to innocent passersby at the mall. Yes, I was the real-life equivalent to an internet pop-up ad. "Hey sir, isn't this the best pillow you've ever felt?!!"

10 Things I Learned My First Semester of College
This is a list of the ten things I learned my first semester of college. 1. Leave it at home. I laughed at every person who told me not to bring all of my stuff to college. I packed up my entire room and brought it with me to school anyway. "It's not going to fit," they said. I made it fit. "You're not going to wear any of it," they said. They were right...

A Disgrace in Society's Eyes
Everyone eventually or maybe never will experience this life that I live Monday-Thursday. I've always told myself that I would never catch myself in such a place, a place where people live double lives, a place where some go to escape their households. Working inside and just outside the second door to this place has me seeing people at their worst and at their best.

Black Wall Street
You’ve heard of China Town, New York. You’ve heard of Spanish Harlem in Manhattan. Have you ever heard of “Little Africa” formally known as The Black Wall Street? Many people have not. Plenty of successful race driven communities exist in America. These communities became more abundant as early as 1823 during the rise of industrialism in America. The immigrants working for the Lowell Textile Mills began chain migration and created ethnic enclaves so they could be reminded of where they came from, support one another, and prosper together. By 1921 most black Americans were accustomed to living in a similar way; separate from whites. For so long, an ethnic enclave was the only option for them.
