Welcome to the 54th edition of The Carnival of Money Stories! As my dad was my first model on how to handle money, I decided to let my father presents this carnival so he can share with you some of his thoughts about several topics. You may conclude that I learned more to do the opposite of what the does than listening to him!
Now son, get out the way and let me type on this weird machine called a computer!
