Death of the 4th Horseman
The last of my Hartford houses sold today. A drawn out, but official end of the Four Horseman era of my life. Four rental properties that took possession over my life for nearly 5 years. 80 hours work weeks. $10k budgets. Repeated doctor visits from poor nutrition, 4 hour sleep cycles, and constant stress.

On locally-proctored exams, most global students scored similar to those students paying $40k/year at Stanford. In speaking on the issue, author Michael Feldstein of Cengage Learning remarked:
