I can add; I can subtract; I can multiply; I can divide; I can figure out percentages. I can decide if a price I see on a tag or label is a good buy.
But that's about it.
Talk numbers to me -- I'm lost.
Talk investment returns -- and I'm befuddled.
Talk measurement conversions -- and I screw up with a recipe.
Is that why I married an accountant? I wonder.
And no, not ALL accountants are boring people, contrary to their reputation!
