Not surprised to read โ€œMillions have holiday debt from 2018.โ€ What do you expect? The average personโ€™s wages just arenโ€™t enough to buy everything cash, so in this capitalistic society, we are forced to indulge in the credit system. That means we buy overpriced items and spend 5-10 years making the minimum payment to pay it off. Iโ€™m not judging โ€” Iโ€™ve been there. The best thing you can tell yourself for the holiday season is, if I canโ€™t pay for it cash โ€ฆ I donโ€™t need it!

Giving Heroes Their Props

I enjoyed reading about some of our unsung heroes in the District in this issue of the WI Bridge. To me, they arenโ€™t really unsung because Iโ€™m very aware of their work in the community. Still, good to see them being recognized.
