Yesterday morning I called my mom on my new mobile phone from Verizon.  My parents are visiting Scottsdale in February, and we needed to discuss travel plans.

The real estate market was booming and the stock market was moving higher.  You were actually happy to receive your monthly 401K reports and your retirement seemed safe and secure.

And what really bothers me is neither side is getting to the root cause of it all. I think skyrocketing health care costs can be attributed to Americans’ lifestyle.  I […]
