The Home Warrior sent me an interesting article the other day that asks the question: Is first/business class worth it? The author then goes to list 11 reasons why it may or may not be. In the end, he declares that for himself, it is definitely worth it. I’m pretty sure that if there were…

My dad played golf every week of his adult life. It would not be a stretch to say I first was on a golf course at two months old. As a child, I remember going my dad’s buddy’s house and watching in fascination as he made a set of kid sized clubs for me. My…
