Here we are at the end of 2021. We hoped it would be better than 2020, and maybe it was. However, 2020 was such a low bar to clear, maybe that's not saying much! Anyway, I thought I'd give you a light-hearted way to close out the year by passing along some of my favorite quotes about "money."
Thanks for working with us, and let's all have a great holiday season and look forward to yet another new year!
