Posted on November 26, 2012 | 2 CommentsThere’s an article via Psychology Today that highlights something I have thought for years – there is such a thing as being too nice sometimes.

Posted on August 27, 2012 | 11 CommentsThe “Money Gap” refers to the gap between the earning income between two partners. Generally (stereotypical but true), it is the man that earns more than the woman, sometimes it’s just a little bit more (no more than $5000 – $10,000) but other times it... -
Dating: Why is it so hard?
Posted on February 3, 2012 | 20 CommentsWarning: This is a personal post, and a mini rant on dating in general. This has nothing to do with finance. Why is dating so tricky? Is it because they really are tricky, or are we just over analyzing and making it trickier than it... -

Posted on November 19, 2010 | 24 CommentsYou know how there are parts of meals that someone likes but another doesn’t? For example, I like to eat only the stuffing in turkey, but not the turkey itself, whereas my mom hates the stuffing but likes the turkey. Or take dark or white... -
Why does it seem like men cheat more than women?
Posted on March 17, 2010 | 22 CommentsI really don’t believe it’s all biological or that men are pigs. That’s a lot of hogwash! (Get it? Get it?… Never mind.) It’s just a question of circumstance, opportunity and attitude. Plenty of women cheat. Just as much as men, I’d wager. So here... -

Men & Strippers
Posted on July 10, 2009 | 7 CommentsTotally my opinion all over this post but I am not surprised that guys have (or do) go to strip clubs, but I definitely don’t approve of them if they have wives or girlfriends… Sure, they may go when they are single, fine, whatever (I...
