She looked at me and laughed and said how could she do that, she never owned a stock in her life.
why should she worry about stock denton?
With a defined benefit retirement,
she could contribute a used bra and still
be guaranteed 80k a year in retirement benefits.
state employees have to be switched to a defined
contribution plan. simple as that. taxpayers can’t keep
guaranteeing a retirement in Tahiti for everyone with a pulse.
women’s upkeep is expensive?
keep it simple.
what are they wearing in those Calvin Klein ads?
a t-shirt and perfume. what more? men are easy.
I am hoping that I can retire from my present position in about 2 years and do something new. I would love to be a schoolteacher. However, I will NEVER work for the public schools as long as the UFT is in place. I could not work in a place that has a union mentality.
So would I dibs but you’d have to join the union and they will tell you to go to the South Bronx and teach music, you’ll have to wait until you get seniority to teach what and where you want.
“Ok, well teaching personal finance to a 9th grader isn’t the same as teaching it to an economics major. I think I mean having a class that students can learn about the BASICS of banking and how important it is to save money, what to spend money on, what options are out there when they are an adult as far as investing – things like that.”
Totally agree. It doesn’t take a rocket scientest to teach these things nor is it very invovled. It’s also a good way to learn basic math. For a lot of people math is easier to learn when it’s applied in a way that’s useful to them. It’s surprising how many people can’t even calculate a 20% tip without pulling out a calculator.
The SEC actively discouraged enforcement of securities law under Christopher Cox, Bush’s choice for Big Boss at the commission.
“For example, cases of naked short selling — an illegal practice rife for big fraud — were not pursued, with 5000 complaints over 15 months resulting in zero enforcement actions.”
Apologies for Googling that last paragraph. This stuff gets really technical and boring fast.
I do agree that lawyers ran, and still run the SEC and dont have the finance background to do the job properly.
See Benson that’s the thing – there ARE teachers who need the extra cash and wouldn’t mind teaching kids. It’s sad that so many of us(including myself) think teachers become teachers b/c they get summers off and leave at 3pm on the dot each day
my mom (was a teacher and she took EVERY opportunity she was given to do after school classes and got paid OT for it) she also drove a cab during the summers in our local town to make extra dough – she rocked!
It’s funny b/c I am in the midst of applying to the NYC teaching fellows program and the program recruits business types who aren’t afraid of hard work and working late and on weekends etc to get the job done – many of you would probably make good teachers
too bad the pay sucks

“I’d enjoy teaching the basics of finance.” — I’ve got money – you need money – take off your clothes.

11217, you dry clean your shirts instead of laundering?
