Things are cheap now, if the interest rate on your mortgage is low I'd pump more into the 401k and maybe buy some good stocks. Like GE, Toyota, etc. Companies that are going to come out of this strong. Thats my 2 cents. |
I figure either military, smart enough for scholarships or dumb as stumps. Not that you can tell with a young kid but I'm thinking choice #2 might be attainable.
I don't know if it's just the reduced expectations of the teachers or other parents. Say what you will about the mastery tests, my kids are keeping those school averages up.
My maternal uncle went to the USCGA. Let's just say he's not all there. Although my paternal uncle was a Navy Flyboy and he's not all there either.
My father was a Coastie...never mind I'll stop there.
I'm not going to dissuade them from trade school either, I'd like to think I could trust one of them not to screw me over with whatever project I needed done.
