Financial Anti-Literacy

I am just going to be taking some notes while this financial "literacy" "lesson" is going on.
  • 9:15 - Carryout EVERY DAY is apparently a great way to save money.  Who knew?  Never mind the cost to your own bank account, the environment and your health.  Who knew long term costs don't actually affect you (and that doesn't negate the fact that it is also a short term cost)?
  • 9:45 - since when is POPEYE'S a wise financial decision?
  • 10:22 - Keep it legal people.  Keep it legal.
  • 10:29 - Glossary = cheating
  • 10:38 - Don't trust the internet.  Espeically paying bills and online banking.  (Ummm... new era lady)
  • 10:48 - 2nd time we have brought up that you shouldn't bring a baby in when you ask for a loan.  I mean ok, but twice?  Really it needed saying twice?
wow. 4 hours of precious class time wasted.
