Happy 2009

As 2008 comes to an end, it is easy to curse the year that was. I urge you all to remember that the greatest things in life are not your personal finances. For me this includes:

• My family remained healthy and happy
• The birth of my first nephew
• Living in the greatest city on earth (in my opinion), New York City
• The ability to reach out to thousands (shocking) of readers via EconomPic Data
• And most important to me... getting engaged to an unbelievably caring (and gorgeous) woman

Rather then just put this year in the past, I urge you all to look forward to a brighter 2009.

Best wishes to all and a happy New Year.
