Simplicicty highest form of elegance

What’s the financial difference between rich people and the rest of us? They live on assets and the rest of us live on cash flow. The rich don’t even have regular bankers. They go to a separate department called wealth managers where they offer tea and crumpets while explaining what tremendous rate of return they are making on your investments. These managers are buying, selling, leveraging, flipping options and doing exotic transactions that a rocket scientist couldn’t understand.

Hispanic Texans likely largest demographic group

The U.S. Census Bureau released its latest estimate, which indicates Hispanic residents in Texas make up more of the state’s population than white residents. The new population figures from the American Community Survey indicate Hispanic Texans comprise 40.2% of the state’s population last year, while non-Hispanic white Texans made up 39.4%, as reported in the Texas Tribune.

What to wear?

Here’s a terrific question from Justin: “Why do a girl’s clothes cost more than a boy’s clothes?” Justin, I’m guessing that since the beginning of time, women simply required more threads. When a man buys clothes, he chooses underwear, shirt, pants, socks, and shoes. But clothing selection for women is much more complicated. A lady doesn’t select a shirt. She must choose a blouse, button-up, lace-up, the layered look, batwings, frock, tunic, turtleneck, or something else. Instead of pants, she might pick a skirt, flare, mini-skirt, peasant dress, pleats, skorts, culottes, or more. I’ve got three pair of shoes: a black pair, a brown pair, and mud-stained sneakers. A lady must choose between sneakers (activewear or dress), stilettos, boots, ankle booties, wedges, sandals, flats, open-toes, and about 117 other styles.

Poll: Most Texas teachers consider quitting their jobs

More than three-fourths of Texas teachers say they have seriously considered quitting the profession largely because of a perceived lack of respect and support, according to a new survey by the Charles Butt Foundation. Excessive workload and inadequate pay were other major reasons that teachers are considering leaving, The Dallas Morning News and other media outlets reported.
