One of the reasons I appreciate both Rob Berger and Ben Carlson is the list of great articles or podcasts they recommend or have used in their reporting. This week Ben’s list included an article I know some of you, with high school age kids, will find of interest. “How I Graduated College Without Debt and a New Car (and You Can Too)” might just be presented in a way that will get your child’s attention.

By the way, it fondly reminded me I started selling Christmas cards at 11 and worked summers, holidays and after school from the 9th grade on. Those jobs included working in my grandfather's apple orchards, a “ Kids Inc." clothing store, a record shop, reporting high school sports scores to a Seattle newspaper on weekends and delivering candy, cigarettes, and potato chips to grocery stores up and down the Wenatchee Valley. Each of the jobs had me working for people who were great life mentors.

"I watch a TON of investment-related Youtube content (and yes, I've filtered out the "bad" ones over time as I got more awareness). This was one of the most informative, thought-provoking, and useful content I've seen."
