Best of Lazy Man and Money
I thought I’d take a little time today to highlight some of the more popular posts I’ve written over the four and a half years I’ve been blogging.

MonaVie is Trying to Sue Me…
… and I couldn’t be happier about it. For those who don’t know, MonaVie is a juice, that retails for $1.70 an ounce (yes ounce). Being the consumer advocate that I am, I wrote that I think MonaVie is a scam since it’s around $1500-$2000 a year per person and has no proven health benefits. [...]
