The Plutus Awards
What the heck are they?ย Good question…
For the past few months Flexo of Consumerism Commentary has been engineering “The Plutus Awards,” an awards ceremony designed to celebrate the best in personal finance.
In ancient Greek mythology, Plutus was the god of wealth. Much like wealth itself, Plutus was blind, offering his virtues without regard for the virtuosity or merit of the recipient. He was lame but winged, leaving much more quickly than he could arrive.
