    Let's talk retirement

    even if we could just educate kids to not apply for all those cards when they hit uni as it hurt their credit, to pay their balance off in full or AT LEASE the minimum. If used properly, credit cards can help kids create a credit history that will help them forever, if not, it can haunt them...

    Let's talk retirement

    actually, it's something I want to talk to my HR department about, I think it would be something that would work really well with people from my center (call center) as most of us are young and not that far from high school and were pretty much in that situation not that long ago.

    Let's talk retirement

    I really want to volunteer when I retire, I have an idea for starting a non-profit group that goes around to high schools educating kids about their money, answering their questions, and just teaching them things that I think I lot of 20-40 year olds wish they would have been told at 17-18.

    Let's talk retirement

    Here's what I do. Ten percent of everything goes intoa high interest earning savings account (President's Choice Financial) at 2.15% interest. If there's anything left over at the end of month that also goes into that account (there always is) My plan is to save 6 months living expenses...

    Let's talk retirement

    I think that we're all adults here, and mature enough to make our own decisions, and to realize that someone saying whatworks for them is NOT a guarantee it will work for everyone.

    Why is reading 'dorky'?

    I had an hour and a half on the bus to school somedays, I read a lot. I was also tortured in school. But I don't think those were connected.

    Supersize Me

    I'm a bit of a compulsive overeater, and I'm not ashamed to admit it, it's a constant struggle for me to get over it. There was a time when I was eating fast food everyday. I was working as a housekeeper at the time, so I could easily eat 5000 calories a day and still lose weight. I lost 30...

    Do you talk to yourself?

    all the time. I'll often replay conversations I've had out loud, and then realize what I'm doing and that people are looking at me funny. Its actually quite embarrassing.

    Patricia Cornwell

    it's being released on the 25th actually. That was a lot of exclamation marks. I've got it on hold at the library. I loved the first few, I have a huge crush on Lucy and I like to fact that Cornwell's a lesbian. However, Blow Fly and Trace have been absolutely horrible. I'll read it, but I'm...
