Should You Co-Sign a Loan for Someone Else?

Prairie Eco-Thrifter

'Not too long ago, a family member asked me if I would be willing to co-sign on a loan. It was a somewhat large loan. I felt queasy at the thought. I’ve helped this relative out in the past, always with money that I don’t expect to be repaid. (My rule of lending to family: Don’t. If you can make it a gift, do that. If you can’t afford it, say you’re sorry, but you can’t help with money right now.).

Deciding What You Should Major in In College

Prairie Eco-Thrifter

'I remember in my first year of college, I was lost. I picked my major (psychology) because it happened to be my favorite course in high school. Never mind that I’d only taken Psychology 101, a beginners course, and that was my exposure in it’s entirety to anything psychology related. I did well in my courses, but I came to realize after only a couple of semesters that there wasn’t much I could do with a psychology degree.

Should You Be a Lifer at Your Job?

They are people who have worked at the company for their entire lives, and will continue to work at the company until retirement age, and possibly past that.
