I truly enjoyed watching the Ryan-Debate yesterday, did any of you get a chance to take a look? What were your thoughts? It was a solid debate, much closer than the first one without a doubt! Before getting started, I’d love to point out a new book published by Mike Piper, a friend of this blog. It’s all about Social Security and I highly recommend that you check it out (it is offered for free on Kindle for a little while longer). Here are a few readings you might want to look into this weekend:)
