Obama’s Debt: Will It Define His Presidency?

President Obama’s campaign was art in motion. He maneuvered, he amazed, he conquered. Among other things, he was able to credibly articulate the idea that American politics could transcend petty partisanship. However, in the dark shadows of political reality, our Commander in Chief had to make some lofty leftward promises and court a myriad of [...]

Their True Colors, Shining Through

I love the dialogue between these two.
First, an interesting, counter-perspective on yesterday’s news conference.
The Obama administration capitulated to Treasury Secretary Geithner who argued against caps on executive pay or limitations on the choices banks can make about how to spend our tax dollars. Barack showed up with a little fear mongering of his own yesterday. [...]

Things to Be Thankful For

What a year it’s been. About this time last year, I made a similar post, thanking God for the many blessings that He’s bestowed in my life. With the turmoil and excitement of this year, I thought it’d be good to continue that tradition.
Professionally, I’m thankful for the new networks I’ve made. Whether friends on [...]

About a Year Ago on YBP: Fixing Black Middle-Class Mobility

It’s eerie when I read articles from back in the day on this blog. About a year ago, I subscribed to the Economist magazine (something I wish I had the time to still read, today) and shared this nugget of information with our readers before the recession was declared and before our economy tanked:
It was [...]

Gift Giving (the Remix)

I would like to be the first to remind you that the holidays are just around the corner, and with retailers pushing out holiday goods earlier and earlier, you have already been reminded, countless times. With that being said, we want to change it up a little, go flip-mode and recommend some wealth building holiday [...]

Running with Scissors

As a child do you remember your mom telling you not to run through the house with scissors in your hand? The reason she said that is because she knew that even with all of your good intentions you’d stop paying attention and end up looking like Slick Rick, less the gold teeth and fedora. [...]

Correction: The Mortgage Crisis Was Not a Minority Problem

Fear has always been the Achilles heel of human compassion. We like to tell ourselves that we’ll give to the less fortunate during the holiday season, support and stand-up for what is right, and lend our neighbors a hand if they need it when asked, but many times, reality never plays out that way.

From the Inbox: Conspiracy Theory?

Interesting email I received from one my colleagues. His logic is interesting, and considering the debacle our President has gotten us in over the last 8 years, I wouldn’t be surprised if the brilliant minds of Wall Street actually set themselves up with a safety net in the form of insured credit default assets in [...]

T.I.P.S on Beating Inflation

These days it is a harsh reality that your dollar is stretched thinner than the Olsen twins. Just talking about the price of gas makes me start to break out in hives and my trips to the grocery store leave me needing a Zoloft. While there are steps you can take to decrease your expenditures, [...]

Shares of Yahoo Inc. (YHOO) plunged over 10% Thursday as merger talks fizzled with Microsoft Corp. (MSFT). Yahoo tried to revive the last takeover offer of $33 per share or $47.5 billion, but Microsoft wasn’t willing to bid that much again, according to statements from the two companies.
