Preamble: I’m currently on hiatus for work. I won’t have time to post – so I’m sharing a few things to keep you entertained until I get back. This is an old infographic from The Money Project that I still love. Of course, it’s an over-exaggeration in a lot of ways. But it’s definitely a conversation starter.
