Truth Bomb Tuesday: The one key to living YOUR life
Pretend to be someone else and you’ll end up with someone else’s life. “You don’t look like an economist!” I take that as a compliment these days. I like to think I don’t look like an economist. That’s not really a style I’m going for. I don’t walk into the hair salon, and say, “Something […]

A budget to annoy real investors
Investors keep taking hits as budget disappoints. Ok, a few people have been asking what I made of the budget. Here’s my thoughts: The Godot Surplus First up, overall, this budget looks like another piece of fiction – like every budget in the past ten years.

Truth Bomb Tuesday: Love Your Zombie
Why are zombie movies so popular? Are they giving us a reflection of something? I once read about a fascinating account an alcoholic had with his demon. He was talking about his drive home from work.
