Financial Literacy

Here is something to think about:

"If a government always robs Peter to pay Paul, always has the support of Paul"

Financial Literacy is quite an interesting class, mostly because I learn new things that most human beings already know. We are assigned readings out of a book entitled "The Richest Man in Babylon". If you want to know how to become rich and wise, go buy this book.

We are doing an assignment that lasts all semester. You may ask "What is it?" Well hold your horses because I will tell you. Do you know what a stock is? Because I sure didn't. If you have the same problem as me, go look it up.

For our assignment we are to find four different stocks that we want to invest in. We then have 100,000.00 pretend dollars to invest in those stocks. At the end of the year we turn in how much we made and the top three people win free phones.

HOLD THE PHONE!

Did you just say free phone. Why yes I did.

My teacher is pretty awesome and has great connections with people. He is kind of important like that. So my hope is to win a free phone.
