Any way you cut it, we are still not really good at saving. In addition to 401(k) programs and others, we should be saving separately for the future and building up slowly a contingency fund for the future.
ability above balm beauty eye good great ground heals inherent man music single
Any day above ground is a good one. A woman's beauty is her inherent ability to better a man in every way. My father, now in heaven, is the watcher of birds. And his eye is on his sparrow.
