Do You Like the Idea of Studying Abroad?

There is a quote that goes: “If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.”

I don't think education is expensive. I think it's priceless!

And you can' quote me on that.

I love the idea of education. I love the idea of formal education. I love the idea of higher education. If you had told me that I could attend school abroad in another country and pursue my education, I would have jumped at the chance. Alas! That chance was not afforded me.

But many others were given the opportunity and they embraced it. Those people are by our standards “successful” and well known. People like:

• Freddie Mercury (1946–1991) ~ (“Queen” lead singer, songwriter, and musician)
• Kerry Washington (1977 - ) ~ (actress aka “Olivia Pope”)
• Bill Murray (1950 - ) ~ (actor and comedian, “Saturday Night Live”, “Ghostbusters”)

There are lots more. If you're curious to know who they are you'll find quick summaries – names, some photographs, where they were born, and where they studied.

Practical Financial Advice to Help You Survive the COVID-19 Crisis

Some may come through the coronavirus pandemic no worse for the wear. But many are going to struggle if they don't take certain measures to protect themselves financially.

Although I have a degree in business, I am not a professional financial advisor. My online work skills lean more towards me being an amateur content curator. I scour the world wide web looking for reliable information and advice on everything from A to Z. When I find “good stuff” published by the people who know what they're talking about, instead of bookmarking and selfishly hoarding my findings, I share the wealth. Figured other folks might have the same questions and are also searching for the answers.

The US government has approved an economic stimulus package and the noble goal is to provide financial assistance and relief to individuals, to businesses, and especially to healthcare providers. (Senate Approves Roughly $2 Trillion in Coronavirus Relief – WSJ) The citizens of America are grateful. Nevertheless, individuals and family units need to seriously think about their finances and what they need to do so that they are not crushed by this crisis.

Here are some useful links that you can read now and/or bookmark for future reference.
