" ARE YOU BEGINNING TO BELIEVE ME " BY GO BLANSON
" I believe for every drop of rain that falls a flower grows,I believe that somewhere in the darkest night a candle glows "
- Frankie Laine
As I look around the city where I live, I can't help but realize the disparity between those
who have Financial Wealth and those who are in " DEEP FINANCIAL DEBT ." One cannot help but recognize
that the Wealthy ones have a different " MINDSET " from those who are " FINANCIAL SLAVES."
Those " STRAPPED " with financial debt, always seem to keep getting deeper and deeper in
" BAD DEBT." [ Garry, do you mean to say that there is such a thing as " GOOD DEBT ?" Well,
of course there is ]. However, most times, only the Wealthy people have learned how to avoid
the " BAD DEBT," and utilize the " GOOD DEBT." Have you ever heard of the term OPM( other
people's money )? Good !Most Wealthy people have learned to harness the POWER of OPM, while
most people who are struggling financially have not.Also, it still puzzles me as to why our
public school systems " FAILED " to offer FINANCIAL LITERACY in such dire times as these!
Especially when I see High School students graduate from High School with NO DEBT, but within
a period of 2 - 4 years, accumulate Student Loan Debt as high as $40,000 to $50,000.According to
an Article from May 2014, Student Loans Debt has passed " credit cards and auto loans " to become the
SECOND biggest source of personal debt in the U.S., trailing only mortgages.

Furthermore, I feel that it is very appalling how so many Students Dreams of obtaining a Higher Education
have become their GREATEST NIGHTMARE!To add insult to injury, many Corporations and Businesses " NO LONGER "
view a College Degree as a good measurement of a person's Intelligence.In a different Article from August
2016, the Article notes that a Record Number Of College Grads Are Working Minimum Wage Jobs!" Increasingly more low wage
employees are those with a college education, in the form of a Bachelor's Degree or higher, as they are
unable to leverage their diploma credentials to get a better paying job, while " the only ones hiring " are
those seeking minimum-paid workers http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-08-29/why-record-number-college-grads-are-working-minimum-wage-jobs .
In closing, I would like to say that the time has come for Americans to " RETHINK " the direction we
are going in Education.Particularly,since so many things have changed in America over the last 100 - 150 years{ it
makes sense that our Schools and Education Systems change as well ! }.You can copy and paste this You-tube
