Oh my! To think that those of us who save our money by not having consultants for our nannies are depriving our children of such vital things.

One thing the internet has taught me:  Everyone doesn't think like I do.  Everyone doesn't have common sense.

What I've learned is that most people don't have common sense.

I always tell my wife that the "living like a rich person" articles in the Wall Street Journal make me want to build a guillotine.
