What I Learned Living in a Million Dollar Home for 3 Weeks
By The Money Wizard
It’s true: for the past month, I’ve been living in a million-dollar home.
Yes, for the past three weeks I abandoned my modest two-bedroom apartment and moved to one of Minneapolis’s richest, most desirable neighborhoods.
This is a neighborhood where the average home is less likely to sell for a million dollars and far more likely to sell for million-s of dollars.

GreatlyBlessed: Gold jumps to fresh high, now at levels not seen since August 2013
