The O Bulletin: Set Your Man Free!
Happy belated 4th of July! I hope you enjoyed a good holiday weekend in the company of family and friends. As imperfect as she is, the United States is, for me, still the best place to call home, and I am thankful every day for all the opportunities our country has afforded us.

Set Your Man Free
A Practical Guide to a Thriving Relationship with Him & Yourself
“We need to stop parenting our men. We need to stop telling them what to do, making decisions for them, planning their career, their social interactions and future paths.

Financial Tip
Do you remember when hotels used to provide free Wi-Fi, gym and pool access, pool towels, a daily newspaper or a shuttle at no extra cost? If there’s one thing COVID did not reverse, it’s the stealthy resort fees that sometimes go under the name of urban fees, destination fees, or facilities fees. You could easily pay $50 on top of your daily rate, and if you use online travel services like Priceline or Orbitz, you may not be aware of these additional fees until you check out. Read the fine print. Call the property, and understand what you’re getting into before booking. That low rate may not seem so appealing once you factor in the extra cost that will, in most cases, not be waived.
