Reading Time: 5 minutes What’s up guys – how y’all doing? Hope everyone’s having a great weekend! The days are slowly getting longer which means we’re coming through the back end of winter, as we limp forward through the second half of 2018. How’s your year coming along? Hopefully it’s been productive and fruitful so far. If not – don’t fret, still some time left to get cracking!

How Does Your Earnings Compare With Other Countries?
Reading Time: 3 minutes CRAZY FROG RINGTONE PLAYS A young man, with imposing physique and streamlined facial muscles, wearily reaches for the snooze button. He misses. CRAZY FROG RINGTONE CONTINUES His wife, a most nubile specimen of her sex, is awoken from her slumber. “Wha…what’s zat… get it” she says, as she kicks out under the covers – both feet hitting their target. The impact has the ferocity of a wounded bull. The young man is suddenly wide awake. He sighs to himself, pulls the covers away and turns the alarm off, shivering in the early morning chill. It is 3:30am… …Who is our intrepid hero? Why it’s your…
