IN A post titled “Voting with your feet”, Greg Mankiw quotes evidence that confirms his priors:

[Population] growth tends to be stronger where taxes are lower. Seven of the nine states that do not levy an income tax grew faster than the national average [over the past 10 years]. The other two, South Dakota and New Hampshire, had the fastest growth in their regions, the Midwest and New England.  Altogether, 35 percent of the nation’s total population growth occurred in these nine non-taxing states, which accounted for just 19 percent of total population at the beginning of the decade.

Of course, 30 percentage points of that 35% occured in just three states: Florida, Texas, and Nevada. And research from Mr Mankiw’s colleague, respected urban economist Ed Glaeser, indicates that diverging growth patterns often have as much to do with supply issues as demand:

This paper assesses the relative contributions of rising productivity, rising demand for Southern amenities and increases in housing supply to the growth of warm areas, using data on income, housing price and population growth.

Credit cards are a staple of modern life. Like a telephone, television, or computer, you can live without credit cards but few people do, most have more than one, and many have specific purposes for each one (e.g. sitting room, travel, work). If you pay them off each month, or use them to self-finance purchases that you could not readily afford, credit cards are a great addition. Convenient, secure, and flexible, credit cards really do have a lot in their favor, but they are not all they seem. The true cost of credit cards is not the annual percentage rate (APR) alone. Fees also need to be included, and when they are, the true cost of credit is closer to 35 percent (regardless of your APR).

Most credit card issuers will add one or more of the following fees and charges:

ANNUAL FEE: Many credit card issuers, and more every day, require an annual fee for carrying certain credit cards. Annual fees are typically flat fees and range from $10 to $500.

After you read this post, you may think I’m incredibly stupid.

Either that, or you will think I’m a genius.

Perhaps both.

There’s a valuable piece of online real estate that you’re probably not using to its fullest potential. And even though you may have heard this advice before, I bet you’re still not implementing it.

I didn’t implement this tiny tweak for months, even though I knew about it. (That’s the stupid part.) But once I did, I gained $804/month in passive income.

Here’s my big “Duh” moment, and how you can easily put my stupidity/genius into action and gain some income as well, even if your site doesn’t get a lot of traffic. (By the way, I’m not selling anything here. But this tweak–I’m not going to lie–could make you more income than a lot of products you buy for $497 do.)

The Most Valuable Piece of Online Real Estate That You Aren’t Using

Let’s look at the sequence of a typical information product website:

On your home page, your web visitors put in their email addresses. Then, of course, they are redirec

TEACHING matters:

A teacher one standard deviation above the mean effectiveness annually generates marginal gains of over $400,000 in present value of student future earnings with a class size of 20 and proportionately higher with larger class sizes. Alternatively, replacing the bottom 5-8 percent of teachers with average teachers could move the U.S. near the top of international math and science rankings with a present value of $100 trillion.
