IN ANN’S OWN WORDS …

I’ve always been fascinated with money and its role in our culture. We all need money to cover our expenses, but how much? How can people manage the money that they have responsibly, and how can people earn more if they need it? There are a lot of people with a vested interest in making this more complicated than it needs to be, and I am fighting against that.
