[QUOTE="THAT Gurl, post: 4055358, member: 45551"] Yep! It's crazy what you can do if you are just willing to work. My dad had a pharmaceutical salesman who said she made more money mowing lawns in the evenings than she did working for the drug company. Only reason she didn't quit was benefits. It's really amazing to watch them work out hypotheticals. I asked them one afternoon while we were goofing around if either of them knew anything about investing. "NO! THAT'S GIRL STUFF!!" " UGH, AUNT PATTI THAT IS BORING!" :naughty::musketeers:Ahhhhhhahhhha a challenge ... Lol So ... In the house we went to get a pencil and notebook. God bless those 2 ... They both now have a "regular" savings account, a 529 account, have profiles on Vanguard forum. Part of Christmas for them this year will be to set up Vanguard accounts for them/mom and/or dad/grandma or me to deposit regular amounts of money each month. The hope is that they will have choices in their 30s the older folk in the room did not. Not because we weren't trying but because no one taught us. The oldest is even taking about "playing the market." He's being kinda stubborn about it. Me and mom are just about ready to hand him $250 in Monopoly money and tell him when he can double that money then we will let him play with real money. :naughty::naughty::naughty: [/QUOTE]
