What Do You Want to Be?
You know when they ask you, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" I always thought a singer. I used to sing at my church songs from The Veggie Tales, with my cousin and my sister A. Then I went solo and started singing songs that I liked, I would practice them over and over, Thinking I had a voice. Everyone told me I did, and maybe they're right, but I personally think I don't.

Reinvent to Prevent
Ok, so when we become adults, we decide that we have it all together, right? We get a job that we intend to be a career and then countless jobs later we find ourselves 40 years old and starting back at square one. I mean who really has time for that especially in a society that is so quick to move on to the next thing? My next thing was supposed to be spending my last 20 years at that life long satisfying career with a 401K that I worked my tail off for. Then... reality hits. After having to cash my last three 401K's out after each job loss for things such as bills, vehicle, college tuition, living expenses while finding a job, and wait did I mention bills? This journey is real and it is raw. I didn't know what I planned to do from there; however, I can tell you one thing I have decided, it will be more helpful to my family and more successful than what I have done the past 20 years. So I have decided to become a licensed independent supplemental insurance agent. I took the state exam and became licensed.

How to Make the Most Out of College
Change isn't easy. Moving over 1,000 miles away from your family and friends and everything you've always known isn't easy. I'm the kind of person that generally doesn't enjoy change (but I mean, who does?) and, in most cases, doesn't handle it very well. Going off to college both scared me and excited me greatly, mostly because I've known I wanted to be at this particular school for the past two years, but it's so far away from my little hometown that it felt like the scariest thing in the world.

Stuck in a Major I Hate
I am a General Engineering major in my last year of college and I hate it. I regret choosing it. If I was given the chance to start all over and choose another major, I would take the chance in a heartbeat.

How to Report Investment Fraud
One of the most notorious investment fraud scandals involves Bernie Madoff, his 4,800 clients, and $64.8 billion. We all know that investing is the smart thing to do with money that’s just sitting around. Whether you're investing your inheritance or your savings to have a better chance of keeping up with inflation, you might be able to make money without putting in extra long hours at the cubicle. However, like any financial pursuit there is the risk that you could get caught up in financial fraud. It's important to determine how to cope if you’ve been tricked into a pyramid scheme or if you've signed your money away to a fraudulent investment agency. When it comes to figuring out how to report investment fraud, getting yourself out of a scam involves much more than just working to file a complaint.
