Survival in Tough Times: Smart Shopping

Al Jacobs Smart Shopping in Tough Times

When economic times are good, you may be inclined to shop with little regard for price or value. But when conditions turn sour, as they have for many Americans, it’s another story. The advertising industry is devoted to identifying what citizens consider significant. Even more so, the market manipulators create those choices.

Michael Dylan Working Life Article
Working is a major influence on who we are as people and who we will become in life. Understanding the importance of the job we do is the first step towards appreciating the gift of work and learning how to use it to our advantage.

We also learn from other people's experiences, both positive and negative.
