The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The Ramsey anti-credit card thing is like alcoholics should not have booze in the house. Yeah, you might be able to resist, but if history shows you can't don't risk it. Will power is overrated.

Ramsey gave me one piece of advice that I'm grateful for. A caller to his small business advice show said he had more work than he could handle. Dave's immediate advice - put your rates up, you work too cheap. I had an epiphany. I put my billing rate up every year since, sometimes twice a year, always higher than inflation.
