These Companies Will Give You Free Money in Time For The Holidays

It seems that just about everyone is looking for a couple of extra bucks these days. One Twitter user is looking for $50,000.

Quick where can I find $50,000 to pay off my student loan debt before I pay an extra $100,000 in interest?

How to survive a long drive in the heat

Embarking on a long drive in the summer heat? Here's a tried and proven method to stay cool.

Gather up plenty of bottled water, best if its flavored and not sugared. Next prepare some frozen green grapes. Wash fresh grapes. Remove from the vine. And freeze individually. Pack those in your cooler. Not only will they help keep your other items cool they'll cool you off as they are consumed.

If you've never tried frozen grapes before the reason to go with green is because they stay kind of slushy even when fully frozen whereas red 🍇 will become solid ice.

Leave pictures of your frozen grapes below.

Will your Kids be Prepared for the World of Money?

When it comes to money we all want to leave some for our children. We hope they will be in a better financial place than ourselves and try to provide a better childhood for them than we had. 

These feelings and wants are natural. But what do we do to accomplish it? How do we get them to think these things? How do we guide them to learn about hard work, saving, investing, giving, and diverse social and economic circumstances that people find themselves in?

In his book "The Opposite of Spoiled: Raising Kids Who Are Grounded, Generous, and Smart About Money" Ron Lieber goes on to explain these things and more.

One particularly interesting part of the book was about a "Home Visit Curriculum" where 4 and 5 year olds go to visit the homes of every student in their class. It's interesting to see what the children pick up from these things.

I don't think I was to more than one or two classmates homes at that age. How many classmates homes did you visit when you were 4 or 5?
