Some great financial reads for a quarantined week, and me pleading for you to stay at home, if you don’t need to go out. Stay home! If you are hoarding toilet paper, I hope you have to use it (in a short period of time!)
My reflections on the past 15 years of writing on this and other blogs. It has been an interesting few years. #Blogging #Writting
