Yup

I worked 7 years at a Supermarket while going to college

And for 2 years now, in addition to my Full Time job as a Gov't contractor, I am working a Part Time job in Assisted Sales of EPSON products.

While I seem to be good at selling stuff to John Q Public, there are days where I don't feel like talking to John Q Public, but I have no choice.

Re: The Good News Thread

Was talking to my Sister who works at a school in NJ and she told me about this and I think it's great! It should be mandatory in every school in the Nation!

Acting Gov. Sheila Oliver signed a law last Thursday that mandates the state Board of Education include financial literacy instruction in the curriculum for sixth- through eighth-grade students in public schools across New Jersey.

I totally agree!

There are WAY too many young people that have no idea how to manage their finances!

Even my wife and I had a lot to learn about home buying this past spring, and we are both in our 40s.

Any financial education that can be offered to young people is a good idea

Re: The Good News Thread

Common sense life education is just as important to me as the math, sciences, etc. Those are obviously important too but most students won't become accountants or doctors. I'd offer that learning how to be responsible with money is the most important life skill there is for most folks, myself included.

Let's put this to the test: Chico, would you agree with me that both policians and the media do their fair part in creating a divisive environment? Or are politicians the good guys and the media solely to blame?

Plenty of blame to go around and sometimes you just have to ignore it . "Sometimes".

I agree and I’ve always said similar things of this nature. For some reason there is this thing suddenly where disagreeing is mistaken for offending...it’s wierd.



Of course I’ve always said this: New research suggests that people are much more united in their beliefs and values than media reporting would suggest.

No surprise there..they make money trying to divide. People are realizing this, opinions are changing.

I’m one of those weirdos who hasn’t watched one second of it. At this point I’m just waiting for it to end and I’ll binge it.
