Posted on February 7, 2020 by Joel D. Hirst

Just as I was penning my own thoughts on our arriving satisfaction, a world away on the shores of the Pacific – the same thoughts, eloquently expressed below. Maybe there’s something to our new Pax Americana??

“The money hit means things like education savings for the kids, a real vacation and not a staycation; it means a few nights out for the couple with a baby sitter, it means you can pay down debt, it means savings that mount towards home-ownership; it means… happiness.” — Americans Have Caught Happiness
