Knowledge, understanding, and wisdom are complimentary and synergistic.  However, it should be clear that only wisdom embodies the qualities of all three.  It is possible to have an abundance of knowledge, deep understanding, and a complete lack of wisdom.

Dennis Prager recently commented that he has been carrying American values around in his pocket for his entire adult life.  To clarify he reminded his audience that those values appear on the coins and currency of the United States: Liberty, E Pluribus Unum, In God We Trust.  He referred to these values as the American Trinity.
These observations seem [...]

America needs neither the terrifying tsunami of new programs overwhelming it from the White House nor the violent volcanic eruption of legislative magma and ash under which the Congress is burying us…can you say “DEBT?”
Some Americans voted for “change”  during last years presidential sweepstakes - clearly a gamble.  However, a very small but not inconsequential minority of far left politicians, union bosses at the [...]

“NAFA sees the proposal as “a clear attempt to take control – read collect fees - on all product recommendations,” including recommendations involving life insurance, long term care insurance, health insurance, property-casualty insurance, savings accounts and fixed annuities, NAFA officials say.”

I regularly receive questions that reference The Infinite Banking ConceptTM of R. Nelson Nash.  The Money for Life Model of Financial Management guides its adherents on a path similar to the one Mr. Nash suggests. 
 A visitor to our web site recently submitted a series of clear and precise questions about three of the core concepts [...]
