Today I’m going to talk about Abraham Lincoln. I’m going to summarize his life as best I can, but focus mostly on his childhood and early years because I think most people don’t talk about Lincoln’s childhood and it was one of the more interesting compared to some other historical figures. I will begin by …

S8#97: The Sun
For us humans, there is no star more important to our daily lives than the sun. The sun provides two important things required to support life: heat and light. Without heat, nothing would be able to survive, much less thrive, and without light, plants wouldn’t be able to grow, and without plants, all CO2 would …
S8#110: Pluto
Pluto is an oddball among planets. It has been kicked out of and invited back into the “Planetary Club†several times. I don’t even know if Pluto is even considered a planet right now. I do know that whether Pluto is a planet or not has been a debate among scientists and astronomers ever since …
PF#60: Credit Card Debt
Credit card debt is one of the largest forms of debt in America today. Almost everyone has a credit card today, with some people even having multiple credit cards that have debt piled up on them. This can snowball, and, combined with other debts, can cause quite a lot of problems. The way a credit …

In this essay, I am going to talk about Elisha Otis and his journey to his invention of the elevator. Elisha Otis was born in Vermont in …
PF#90: Taxes
Today I’m going to talk a little bit about taxes. I’m going to talk about which method of preparing taxes I would chose, and why. I’m also going to talk about tax refund advances. I’m very new to this topic, and I’m sure I don’t understand everything fully, but I’m going to try my best. …
PF#75: Business Plan
I propose a business. It will be an Etsy store where I sell my 3D printed creations. I am only going to start with one product, but will probably expand in the future. I will have some basic marketing, and also some basic operational and organizational principles, but these will not be very complex as …
PF#40: The Best Personal Finance Solution for Me
We talked about many ways for me to record my finances over the course of this weeks. I have decided that the best solution for myself is the humble spreadsheet.
