Default One tiny bit of advice...

If you could give someone only 1 piece of financial advice, what would it be? Here's mine...

1. Pay off your credit card dept pronto, 'cause if you're not paying 18% it's the same as making 18%.

2. If you ever fall off the Sears Tower, just go real limp, because maybe you'll look like a dummy and people will try to catch you because, hey, free dummy.

As far as investing is concerned - always think long term.

When you get to college, try to major in Engineering, IT, or Business. Don't bother with History.

If you can avoid it, don't get married....just shack up with her/him. One set of bills and no marriage penalty tax.

After college, live with the parents as long as you can while you save/pay off school loans.

Spend less than you earn and invest the difference.

If you ever see a dummy falling from the Sears Tower, don't try to catch it. Let it land, then go through the pockets for change and cash.
