Talking Points from Harry Abramhamsen on
How Graduates Can Save Money During this Challenging Times:

Students are finally graduating and are now turning a new page in their chapter in life. Understanding various money strategies can significantly impact their financial success in the real world. It is equally important to start to save money to build up short-term liquidity. All too often people will throw all the money they have at their debt ignoring building short liquidity. The old saying that “cash is king” really applies here. Start a monthly saving habit and stick to it. Do not worry about a rate of return, because it is a short-term strategy.  This money may be needed for an emergency or to purchase a new home or condo. One of the early traps is “investing” into a risky investment so the money can grow—to potentially lose money to market volatility.

What Mat Jacobson can say in an interview on
Affordable, Accessible, and Relevant University Degrees: 

Elite colleges often have even more elite Mission Statements that often are at odds with reality. For example, according to their published mission statements, “Yale is committed to improving the world today and for future generations.” “The central mission of the University of Southern California (USC) is the development of human beings and society as a whole.”

These are inspiring words, and one will find similar sentiment at almost any elite university. But are elite institutions really focussed on improving “society as a whole,” at a price tag exceeding a quarter of a million dollars per student? Or are they in fact a highly exclusive destination for the ultra-wealthy?
