Marriage Financial Times - Why Keeping Joint Accounts is to Your Advantage

Posted in: , ,

The reason why I chose to address this issue as 'Marriage Financial Times' is to make it sound like 'New York Times', a newspaper. We all know the essence of newspapers and we either agree or disagree with some of its contents, we all have our opinions and we all have our different understandings and perspectives of it.

Posted in: , , ,

I saw the interview a day late and had to laugh at the answers Chimamanda Adichie, a woman after my heart, gave to the Sun newspaper interviewers as she lent her voice to gender equality.
