ParticipantThe CITI Dividend and AMEX Simply Cash Business Card used to give us 5% cash back on all purchases for years. We’re at between 1-3% on most now. Sad.
I know we’re dreaming in this economy, but since we pay everything off every month, too, we’d really like to find another 5% cash back only card again, since we really don’t need travel or hotel rewards because of our free airline benefits that will flow into retirement.
All of the posts offer great suggestions, and I’ll keep checking in, to see if anyone has heard of any deals I may have missed.

ParticipantSo great to read a thread about children taking piano lessons!
We raised our, now grown, children with music lessons of many types, and they still thank us for it.
We inherited two Steinway Grands when they were young, and our entire family has enjoyed playing them for years.
As many here have suggested, if you do not currently have a piano in your home, definitely rent one, and see how it goes. You will find many reasonable opportunities to buy in the future, if it seems appropriate.
Enjoy!

ParticipantI have to say, I agree with both perspectives regarding API scores.
Our kids graduated from local schools with high API scores, and went on to Ivy League universities. They have friends–from less optimum circumstances–who were extremely focused and driven, and did equally as well.
I think the real concern for all young people will go far beyond API scores, and come in the form of concerns about viable employment, and the ability to create a decent lifestyle outside of their parent’s homes. That’s going to be the real challenge for them going forward.

ParticipantAlthough I know this thread can go many different directions–all very
interesting– I’d just like to add that I agree with flu’s comments.Although the issues involving government employess do effect society as a whole, there is little we can do about them, so to concentrate on one’s own wealth-building efforts probably makes the most sense.
We’ve been focusing on this for years, and now, at 50, have no financial concerns.
As I’ve seen with friends, in the final analysis, your health will go before your finances do, so enjoy everyday–everything on earth is temporary.August 10, 2010 at 3:09 PM in reply to: Are federal workers overpaid? Avg 123k?? It’s insane! #589528flyer
