One of my favorite things to do in the summer is to drive around with the top down on my pearl white convertible. I love how the wind breezes through my long, blonde hair, and how easy it is to breathe in the fragrance of flowers and freshly cut lawns. When I think of my car, it puts a smile on my face. What also puts a smile on my face is that it’s a pretty fuel-efficient vehicle. With fuel prices ever fluctuating, more of us are opting to buy fuel-efficient vehicles. Let’s visit a little bit about what to consider in regards to fuel efficiency if you’re in the market for a new car. First, let’s define what it means for a vehicle to be fuel-efficient. An average vehicle typically gets 19 to 29 miles per gallon (mpg). Anything greater than 30 mpg is of course considered above average, and generally anything above 35 mpg is considered fuel-efficient. At first glance, it might not seem like a big deal if a vehicle gets 30 mpg instead of 20 mpg, but that can equate to an annual savings of nearly $1,000 if you factor in the current gas prices, and if you’re an average driver who drives about 15,000 miles per year.

Another change in the way that the 21st century markets operate comes from the fact that in 1960, less than 9 percent of the total assets were in mutual funds, whereas today, that number is approaching 85 percent. The significance of this is that mutual funds make investment decisions differently than do individual investors. Mutual funds focus on blocks of stock and trade them as bundles and not as individual companies. It also means that the vast majority of the investing public is not making their own investment decisions; they are relying on the focus and expertise of professional money managers. The takeaway I would like you to get from this discussion is that the stock markets are dynamic institutions, and as new technology comes along and as our financial infrastructure evolves, so does the functionality of our equity markets. Investors must continually become educated on those changes.

From the time we are little girls, many of us dream of our perfect wedding. The dress and tiara that make us feel like a princess, the amazing reception, and of course, our perfect partner. We envision our soul mate—the person who believes in us and shares our same dreams. The average American woman is waiting longer to get married. In 2011, women were closer to age 27 when they married, while in 1960, the average American woman married at the tender age of 20. Many of today’s women attend college and pursue careers outside of the home, while women in the 1960s were expected to not work outside of the home. Today’s women are multitaskers who maintain both home and career in an ever-tenuous balancing act. When we get married, we plan to build a future together and are often devastated when those plans change. Diverse roles, expectations from society, expectations from within the home, and advancement of careers all contribute to today’s divorce rate. It is estimated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that in 2011, the divorce rate in the United States was 2.6 per 1,000 populations. For one reason or another, couples divorce.
