Financial Statement

Although I have an MBA, I can’t seem to run a business as for the 11th year in a row I’ve lost money! The site cost me $129 to run, and I don’t make any money on it or run ads anywhere, which has saved me numerous times!

I had 775 posts in 2025, but here are the most popular posts and pages in 2025:
