Random fact of the week
During the Middle Ages, knights did not want to carry cash around because of robbers. Instead, knights wore special rings. When a knight stayed at an inn, for example, he would stamp the bill with his ring. The innkeeper later took the stamped bill to the knight’s castle to be paid.
Inspirational quote
Our inspirational personal finance quote this week comes from Jonathan Swift who said.
“A wise person should have money in their head, but not in their heart.”
