Many countries printed excess money in the financial crisis of 2008. Eventually we are going to have to deal with the resulting deflation. http://www.businessinsider.com/why-is-deflation-bad-2015-1

What's the story morning glory? Up before the Sun, the cloudiness of champagne from the Pac Rim the night before notable at the forefront of my mind. Was it too much music? Too much champagne? Was the private dinner @andyfreeman99 hosted excessively kind? Was the company unduly charming? Was Roman Payne's soliloquy correct when he said: "Champagne arrived in flûtes on trays, and we emptied them with gladness in our hearts... for when feasts are laid and classical music is played, where champagne is drunk once the sun has sunk and the season of summer is alive in spicy bloom, and beautiful women fill the room, and are generous with laughter and smiles... these things fill men's hearts with joy and remind one that life’s bounty is not always fleeting but can be captured, and enjoyed. It is in writing about this scene that I relive this night in my soul." It was a great night, both ended a 0400 and began 630 with a walk down the waterfront. But first, this sunrise. #financialplanning #finance #entrepreneur #hustle #greatful #champagne #pacrim #sunrise #wine (at Coal Harbour)

"In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields." -John McCrae Lest we forget... We remember (at Prince's Island Park)

How do you decide on a Bond quote? It seems like a fools errand, there are too many famous quotes, so I'll try to go one level deeper: "Be polite, be courteous, show professionalism, and have a plan to kill everyone in the room." -James Bond (and James Mattis) "I don't stop when I'm tired, I stop when I'm done." -James Bond A found picture from the Rotary/Rotaract's, Secret Agent & Bond Girl Charity Soiree & Fundraiser. After two years working with the Rotaract club helping young people learn about financial literacy, I was flattered to receive an invite to the event. Even more so when the person who invited me held ticket 007 just for me. A night of music, secret missions, code words, drinks, and even an attempted assassination made helping the charity more fun than work. Philanthropy is always worth it. #finance #financialplanning #entrepreneur #workhardplayhard #hustle #quotes #blessed #Calgary #yyc #thankful #legacy #leader #goals #bond #007 #secretagent #beyourownbanker #betterlatethannever #sharecalgary #calgary360 #shareyyc #rotary #rotaract (at Sky 360 Restaurant)

"Las Vegas looks the way you’d imagine heaven must look at night.” -Chuck Palahniuk Lucky enough to qualify for the Leaders Conference, which this year was in Vegas Baby! So when we aren't crushing it at the tables...er...tirelessly studying with other professionals about the newest tax changes...ya, thats it, some of of took of to explore the strip. Honestly my favorite part in any city, is exploring places. Vegas in particular is almost unrecognizable from day to night. Lessons learned quickly: I was rusty in blackjack, 22 push can be forgiving, @mylifeyyc was dangerously good at baccarat, and @andyfreeman99 plans great restaurant encompassing recharges. . . . . . . #finance #financialplanning #entrepreneur #entrepreneurlife #workhardplayhard #hustle #quotes #blessed #vegas #lasvegas #flamingo #ceaserspalace #Paris #drais #margarita #margaritaville #bellagio #travel #poker (at Las Vegas Strip)

"The difference between art and design, is that design is all about answers, and art is about questions" -Brendan Dawes Generally I agree with that sentiment. But the centre console of the Aventador wouldn't look at all out of place on display in an art gallery, as it does in its position on the octane powered monster that it inhabits. This may be a case where design, science, and art all broke even. #finance #financialplanning #entrepreneur #workhardplayhard #hustle #quotes #lamborghini #art #design #lamborghini #luxurycars #cars #luxury (at Lamborghini Manhattan)

As I peel my eyes open and realize it is the last day of the #calgarystampede this year, I can't help but smile. The concerts, the memories, the rodeo, 2:00am golden inn runs, the corporate events, all the breakfasts, guys night, etc. It was an amazing 10 days. But as I try to sit up and I feel the pain emanating from my bones and somewhere behind my eyes, I am forced to come to one undeniable conclusion. You win Stampede. You win. #calgary #calgarystampede2016 #yyc #stampede #memories #workhardplayhard (at Calgary, Alberta)
