Welcome to the world of finance

I'm going to go out on a limb here and talk about something I know nothing about. Hopefully I will sound like I do, and no one will ask me any questions about it. When I was in college, I used to daydream a lot while suffering through organic chemistry and general biology.

Subjects of these daytime space outs included spring break, Thurs night frat parties, the blond in front of me, the blond behind me, our losing football team (which continues to be a tradition at Rutgers), etc. But two topics that seemed to avoid my brain like a snowball in July, were business and finance. Ironically enough, no one has ever run into my clinic with a dissected frog and asked me to point out its adrenal glands. Yet, business and finance are a part of my daily routine. Such is the foresight of your typical 19-year-old college student. To further

illustrate my point, I took French in high school because I thought it would make me sound cool to the ladies. I have yet to meet one lady in Ashley or Hudson who speaks French.

For those of you who understand that business and finance are

necessary evils in a free society, I present to you these web sites. The first site pretty much says it all in the title, CEO Express. To say that this site is like manna from business Heaven, is like saying morels are just another fungus. Designed by a busy executive for busy executives, this page is divided into Daily News & Info, Business Research, Office Tools & Travel, and Breaktime. Trust me when I say that when you first log onto this web site, you will stare at it like a deer in headlights, not knowing which way to turn first. Time will begin to slow down and disappear as you quickly age in another space continuum. Or, it will bore you and you will move on.

The next site you may need if you're planning on taking over the

financial world is called MoneyAdvisor. The two main sections of use are the calculator link, and the general link. Because CEO Express is so thorough, I will direct you to the calculator page. This page has every kind of calculator under the sun ranging from loan and investment calculators, to a human life value calculator (mine came out to $1.69). Another calculator site is called Calculator.com and it has scientific, currency, time, and unit conversion calculators, as well as an online calculator directory that, again, includes every kind of adding machine known to man, and some not yet discovered.

For those of you who don't own Family Lawyer, Legaldocs is an

excellent website for creating contracts, wills, legal requests, etc. This site has an amazing list of legal documents to choose from. Although most documents range in price from $3.50 to $27.75, there is a section of free documents that include living wills, general contracts, promissory notes, and requests for a credit report, among others. Even if you have to pay $27.75 for a custom document, you've just saved paying $100/hour for a legal expert to do the same thing. Once printed, I would advise having it read over by a lawyer just to make sure that all the i's are dotted, and t's are crossed for your state. FreeAdvice.com is

another law-oriented website that gives general advice on just about every law topic.

Two other websites that may be of interest include The Library of

Congress Homepage and, for those of you who just invented the next pool cue/lighter/umbrella/olive slicer, go to The CopyRight Website.

Les gicleurs règnent dans le football. Venez me rendent visite dans ma clinique, et vous remercient de lire mon article chaque semaine. So, did I impress any ladies? No? Ok, someone bring me that dang frog then.
