Truth, like gold, is to be obtained not by its growth, but by washing away from it all that is not gold.

Naked Finances? Where!?
July 26, 2006>Summed up: Little content, lots of welcome<

Finances for people who don’t want to admit that they think about money at any other time than the first of the month, while writing the rent cheque. Yes, I said “cheque”. I am tyrannically Canadian, and will use the Brit adopted spelling of words like neighbourhood, colour, and cheque, so don’t spellcheck harass me.
