I’ve been doing some thinking over the past few days. I’m retired – got nothin’ else to do. I thought about the recent posts I’ve written. My first posts are about mutual funds, budgets, credit cards, loans and retirement plans; helping readers understand them so that they can use them to their advantage. Next I
