Doesn’t seem quite fair, does it?
Southwest Airlines announced that its 1st Quarter profits are up by 50%. I’m not surprised - they have affordable fares and all of the times I have flown Southwest have been positive. Not only did the flights depart and arrive on time, but the flight attendants all had a great manner and sense of humor. One woman actually rapped all the safety information!
Women have to work hard for their money, right? Sometimes even harder than their male counterparts. A recent study shows that women are less likely to take steps to ensure their financial stability. Don’t let that be the case for you. Hire a financial planner, make sure you are investing for your retirement, make sure you have the insurance you need.
Well, the Nintendo Wii gaming system has boosted Nintendo’s profits quite a lot. 77 percent to be exact. They don’t need to worry about being able to compete with Sony and Microsoft in the gaming market anymore. Anyone tried a Wii? My kids want one, but I haven’t caved yet.
