Let's Do Better This Year
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Fri, 08/24/2018 - 2:40pmWe can do better, we should do better, and we must do better. You see, it’s our responsibility to do better, and we need to realize that no amount of money is going to help more than the investment we choose to give it.
