Standing on the Shoulders of Giants – Isaac Newton

Last updated on: February 17, 2012 at 10:01 am By Tim

There’s an inspiring quote by Isaac Newton that we can all learn from. “If I can see further than anyone else, it is only because I am standing on the shoulders of giants.” Those giants for Isaac Newton were men like Copernicus, Galileo, and Kepler. Without the findings and research of these mathematical geniuses to follow, Newton may not have ever stated the famous three laws of motion.

How to File the Federal Tax Extension Form

Last updated on: February 16, 2012 at 2:23 pm By Tim

Filing a tax extension is simple. If you need extra time to work through your tax documents and just don’t think you’ll be able to finish your taxes by the April 18th tax deadline, you can file for an extension. Once you file the tax extension form, you’ll have until October 17th 2012 to file your taxes (an extra 6 months). This doesn’t mean that you get an extra 6 months to pay your taxes. That’s why it’s so important... Read more

Being Rich Doesn’t Make You Greedy

Last updated on: February 15, 2012 at 9:28 am By Alex

While Occupy Wall Street is slowly working its way out of the news, the ideas behind it are holding strong: being rich is evil. If you’re well above the average (the saying goes) you should have your riches taken away from you. It doesn’t matter how you collected the money. If you have it, you must be evil and greedy The problem with this logic is: America’s homeless are some of the richest people in the world. Before you hate... Read more

Last updated on: February 14, 2012 at 7:00 am By Tim

You might not realize it, but the Government has a program that provides free cellphones and service to low-income and elderly consumers who don’t have the means to pay for telephone service.

Last updated on: February 13, 2012 at 7:00 am By Tim

I love the feeling of landing on ‘Free Parking’ in Monopoly, especially when it’s loaded up with $500 bills.

Last updated on: February 7, 2012 at 7:00 am By Tim
