So many interesting things to read these days, listed randomly:

Robert Kiyosaki on what he learned by working with Donald Trump:

I know many people don't like Donald because he comes across as a tough guy. That's their problem. In spending time with him, I realized that I wasn't as successful as I could be simply because I wasn't tough enough.

Chrees:

S&H was ubiquitous where we lived, and I would bet there were plenty of decisions made where to shop for groceries or get gas based on whether or not green stamps were offered.

The Budgeting Babe:

I'm a chronic returner. I shop, I buy, I take home, I love, I regret, I return. It's the story of my shopping life.

David Pelfrey takes on the Costco receipt checker:

One problem with this receipt-checking system is that on busy days it forces customers to form long lines at the exit. On some of my visits, I decided to roll past this line with my items, now that I owned them, and head straight to my car. The first time I tried this, a woman shouted at me to return to the store. I believe she was still yelling "Sir! Sir!" as I departed Patton Creek and approached the interstate ramp. I wouldn't know; I was listening to a CD I had just purchased at Costco. It was my CD, you understand. Why not enjoy it?
