You know that Progressive Insurance commercial that humorously depicts a “Parent-Life Coach” advising young homeowners on how to avoid turning into their parents?

Do you count? I count for a living, but I’ve been a numbers nerd from the age of 8, so, yeah, I count. But I bet you do, too: You count calories or pounds or inches or net pay or horsepower, or you have a budget or a video download limit, or you follow sports, so, yeah, you count as much as I do.
