Parents, teachers and media spent a lot of time telling my having a baby would ruin my life. They didn't want me to be a teen parent. I get it. But most of the scaremongering wasn't about teen parenthood. It was just about paren

That's funny, because food it my primary example for credit in everyday life and is probably the first place you've used it. Whenever you go to a restaurant and pay after eating, you're using credit. Credit is more effective

We pay a lot because we need these people who are capable of making tough decisions (copying everyone else by overhiring at a premium during low interest rates), they can't be kept accountable for their own mistakes like the rest of us
