If you would like more friends, listen to the first part. I hope you'll find it helpful. The second part is a rerun of an answer I gave several months ago, because this question was very similar to another one someone had asked while back about the New Spiral. If you're weighed down by whether to keep up with the news, listen to the second half.

If you've ever wondered where your money goes, listen to this one!
