Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays again. However, there is no real post from me today.

There was some wind and rain and some people did lose power briefly, however, Oahu was pretty lucky I think overall.

Hey everyone, it’s Finance Fridays again. Today, we’re going to take a trip down memory lane and look at some my financial decisions, just remember “Hindsight is 20/20“. Hindsight is 20/20? What do you mean? It’s an idiom, and it means ” In hindsight things are obvious that were not obvious from the outset; one is able to evaluate past choices more clearly than at the time of the choice.” Please note that I would not change anything […]
