 Relax with money secret, Financial insights

The smash success of the book, the Secret, has lead many Americans to believe that subtle changes in their thinking can have a profound effect on their income and earnings. There is a lot of truth to this, but I have always believed that just like in linear equations in algebra, there often exist more than one correct answer.  I found an article that may encourage some of you to achieve such an answer, enjoy.

As reverse mortgages are becoming more and more common as a finance (lifestyle adjustment) tool, I began to revert back to my days as an undergraduate at UCLA. While I snoozed through many a lab and discussion course I do recall that in my “Sociology of the Family” course our professor discussed study after study of the decline of the American family in general and the American marriage in particular. While this is not the topic of this commentary, it got me to thinking; Could the American marriage be saved with a reverse marriage?
