I found this article to be thought provoking on the Savings Habits of Millennials.  When you get older you tend to change your habits.  Life does that to all of us.  When you are young life’s possibilities seem limitless, and you don’t have all the onerous responsibilities that come later.  Its important to remember this before we start judging the youth of today.

Breaking Bad was not just a great series, it had some powerful lessons to teach us.     I found this to be interesting: 7 Life Lessons Breaking Bad Taught Me –.   I would say another lesson I learned from Breaking Bad: Don’t wait until you have stage 3 lung cancer to change your life.

What caused the Republican wave that rolled over the land on Tuesday?  There is no limit to the theories being floated by the pundits.  Some people are inclined to point to the President’s sagging popularity, and there are some persuasive arguments to be made.  I found this article while reading over at Real Clear Markets: http://pragcap.com/how-the-economy-crushed-the-democrats-why-neither-party-will-fix-it .  Cullen Roche posits that the economy was the main factor, despite the positive unemployment numbers and the rise of stocks.  The middle class is not benefiting from the ‘recovery’ and they are prone to take out their frustration at the ballot box.  Instead of focusing on passing the Affordable Care Act the President should have made the economic well being of the country his first priority.  Republicans are just as vulnerable to this discontent if they fail to heed the warning.  Politicians take note: ignore the economy at your own peril.
