I, personally, love to hear, “Run, Forrest, run!” and don’t automatically raise my middle finger to acknowledge my gratefulness when I do

“Avoid Money Traps That Keep You Stuck with Morgan Housel” reads the course title, but who the fuck is that and why is getting stuck with him so bad? Does he edit a particularly pungent aroma or something?
