It’s that time of year! The time of year when, at least around here, everyone’s telling me all about how their grand Spring trips went or gushing about the glamorous places they’ll be heading off to in a couple of months.

There is little that sounds worse to me than spending a rainy Saturday at the mall. Because, seriously, people, everyone in the planet seems to come out, and I believe I may have mentioned how crowded parking lots give me heart palpitations.

Hubby and I are both finance-types. Some people would attribute that to our backgrounds in banking, but I don’t really think that’s it. (The sad truth is that many folks in banking have some seriously messed up finances, themselves.) I think we both just really get numbers and appreciate that, as long [...]
