Are Credit Cards About to Be Killed Off in Europe?

Doctor of Credit writes that EU lawmakers agreed to impose limits on EU debit and credit card interchange fees of 0.2% and 0.3% respectively.

The edge of Hong Kong from Above

Drones or Quadcopters I’m afraid the word “drone” is now in the popular vernacular, even though I think most quad pilots wished everyone referred to them as “quadcopters.” I think the “drone” word gets confusing because that’s what the military uses in a weaponized manner. But then again, “quadcopter” doesn’t always make sense either because […]

Pastor Wants People To Pay $65 Million For His New Private Jet

Conventional wisdom suggests you shouldn't discuss religion, so I think I've reached my quota for the decade today alone. This morning I wrote about the NFL player who thought Orbitz sending him a fare alert was a "sign from God."

But that has nothing on this story, about mega-church pastor Creflo Dollar (an ironic name, given the story). At first I actually thought it was a joke. But it's not.

Long story short, Dollar's old private jet broke down, and he's looking for the congregation to fund his new $65 million G650 jet. An effort which he calls "Project G650."

Prepare for Tomorrow by Doing One Thing Differently Today

Here’s a trick that will work every time. Work hard during the day, and cross off as many things from your list as you can. But as you’re winding down, save something. Leave one thing undone.Don’t actually do that one more task—but do identify it. Stop before you’re completely ready to stop.Build a bridge to the future, and leave your current day’s work knowing what you’re going to do next.It will work. Every time.
