Let's face it, we hear that Gen X and younger generations do not know how to manage their finances. Or you are likely to hear the younger generation is not making "big" ticket purchases such as cars or homes. Some Gen X and older generations went to college when it was a much smaller percentage of one's annual income. Car and home purchases were the same as a much smaller percentage of one's annual income. It is not that the younger generations do not want these things. It is a matter of we cannot afford them the way our parents or grandparents did. We will use this as an example, in 1990, when I was a freshman in college, the average state college tuition, room, and board was $4,975, and in 2020 the same was $35,551. That is an increase of 715%, while the minimum wage has gone from $3.25/hour to $7.25/hour, or a mere 223% increase. Younger people do not necessarily have a savings problem as many older people think. It is an earnings problem as basic wages have NOT kept up with anything else. That is why you must know where your money is coming from and where it is going. This is where Personal Finance Made Simple can assist you and help you achieve all your financial goals! Are you thinking of your retirement? Do you worry about outliving your retirement funds? If so, then an annuity may be the right choice for you to consider. These are highly complex financial instruments between the annuitant and a life insurance company. Since these are generally for someone’s retirement, they are considered tax-deferred until the payments begin. All annuities have several components to them and riders that make them unique. Someone must understand the annuity they are purchasing before actually buying it from an insurance agent, financial planner, or the life insurance company itself. As annuities are extremely complex financial contracts, someone must know the basic differences between a fixed income annuity, an immediate annuity, and a variable annuity. While not all annuities are available, they are some of the more common ones purchased. While this ebook does not cover all of the types of annuities available, it does provide someone with the basics that they will need to make an informed decision on if an annuity is the right choice for them or their retirement. Get A Brief Overview of Annuities today and be in a position to make an informed decision on an annuity purchase. As a thank you bonus, included is a printable PDF that you can use to put all your financial information in one convenient location.

College and university websites have a lot of roles to fill. They need to provide information for prospective students (both new and transfer), parents of students and prospective students, current students, and alumni. In many cases, they're also the gateway to the school's intranet and the public face for both academics and athletics. They often need to include reams of information in a way that makes everything easy to find. It's a huge challenge. And the truth is: most collge and university websites are horribly designed. Either they look like they were designed fifteen years ago and then forgotten about, or they're so overloaded with information that it's almost impossible to find what you're looking for. But not every college or university website is horrible. There are some excellent sites out there, and below are some of them. If you know others, please share them in the comments to this post!

Gladys: An American Story, 1934-1946 is a series of letters from a young woman to her family. The story opens on the day her luck changes because of a new WPA project, enabling her to go to college. Even though Washington State College in Pullman is only thirteen miles from Colton and the farm, Gladys writes of her experiences as if she had settled in another corner of the country, reflective of the emotional distance she sojourned to become a college coed in 1934. Eventually, she lands a job on the west coast near a little town called Silver Lake. She soon finds herself as the home economics and English teacher, the drama coach for the school plays, and the heart of the school lunch program. She survives. She marries, but her husband receives his 1-A draft status. Gladys returns to Colton alone and teaches there during the war years. The 40s gave America back its resiliency, a way to transcend the Depression. Through the letters, we can reconstruct an era. Gladys studies, she reads, she listens to jazz, she goes to the movies, she makes soup for school lunches, and she dances. We can feel the period, the poverty, the New Deal, leaving the farm, and the thrill of finding employment. We can understand the price of goods and even the care for the rubber on the tires. This historical context is the crucible of the greatest generation.
