mortgage brokers: Is The Devil Resting On Your Shoulder? - 03/08/08 03:17 PM
It's your livelihood. It's how you get about in this capitalistic culture we call America. It's your freaking job. Sometimes it's just you, sometimes it's your family. Sometimes, it's both. Regardless, I wonder if we all 'Sin' before we 'Saint'. If Money is indeed the root, I never wanted to grow into that tree. I've got … (42 comments)
