The cost of college has skyrocketed in recent years.  Students are facing increasing difficulty in drawing up a good plan for how to repay loans they make take out.  The biggest problem is that kids fresh out of high school often don’t understand the enormity of going tens of thousands in student debt.  Lending companies, interested in making money, gloss over the concept of debt so that it sounds so simple to pay back the loan when it could prove most challenging.  The best thing to do is sit down and research the profession you’re interested in.  How much does it pay for entry-level openings?  How about room for advancement?  Will you be able to afford the monthly payments along with any other debt you may already be in?  Students who plan ahead now will protect themselves later. 

In looking at our nation’s currency, I am amazed at the amount of money we have had in our past. In my 38 years, I have yet to see a new form of currency introduced nor an old one retired. In looking at our past we have had such rare coins as the half penny, the two cent coin, the three cent coin, the $10 coin, the $20 coin and so on. One other thing I have noticed is just how much some of these rare coins are worth. Hundreds and up to multiple thousands of dollars are the dollar amount assigned to coins of this nature.
