I’m back! Sorry for being totally MIA this week – work has been absolutely crazy, which left me almost no time to have lunch, blog, or poo. Yes, I just said “poo” on my blog. So one of my top reads this week was Ramit Sethi’s Big Wins Manifesto which is a helluva long article […]
Came across this yesterday, and thought that it was way too awesome not to share! Presenting: The Absolute Moron’s Guide to the Euro Crisis Part I and Part II (Hat tip Barry Ritholtz) Totally awesome for those of you who’ve been trying to wrap your heads around this Euro crisis thing, so you have something smart
