Leave a Comment / Success / By Alex Whietfield

In 2023, U.S. victims lost an average of $10,000 to fraudulent moving companies, their stories echoing the sting of broken porcelain and the metallic taste of regret. Staying sharp, like Michael Jordan before tipoff, means reading contracts with eagle eyes and smelling trouble in every whiff of dust and cardboard. I once lost track of a key paper after a single drink; that blunder left me anxious for days. Clear thinking protects more than bank balances it guards memories and peace of mind.
