Annual Credit Report
This is more of a "Public Service Announcement"than anything else, but a worthwhile one if I say so myself. Apparently the three major credit reporting companies are required to give individuals a free credit report each year (one from each company). Go to AnnualCreditReport.com to get yours.
I got mine, and the information they get on you is complete to say the least.
An interesting little bit of information (also free) from Equifax is your personal debt compared to others in your area. In Rhinelander the average debt is around $47,000 if my memory serves me right. This does not include home loans!
About the best thing parents can do is teach their children how to save. That would make their future more secure (and less relying on Social Security), and would give them more "disposable" income to be able to give to worthy charities. Everybody's a winner!
