AVOID THE SOLOMON GRUNDY SYNDROME
Solomon Grundy, a nursery rhyme character, is known for living a life that repeats itself in a monotonous cycle. His life is a series of predictable events, starting with his birth on Monday and ending with his death on Saturday.

It means being stuck in a cycle of monotony, where each day ...

What Backs the United States Dollar?
Prior to 1971, the US dollar was backed by gold, silver or a combination of both. In 1971, President Nixon officially ended the gold standard and made the United States dollar a fiat currency. Fiat means “let it be done” in Latin. Therefore, a “fiat currency” derives its value from government decree rather than any physical commodity.

In return, the United States ...
