We won't hold that A&M heritage against ya if you come to the meetup or participate ;-)Luckily you're in the best town in the metroplex for small regional bank contacts.

Sales are up in recessionary times, a good indicator of social fears and consumer expectations.

My wife did not make copies of their DLs or get their socials...I am not sure what my options are.

I'm watching this much talked about investor funded Heritage State Park development and thinking "someone is about to lose a cool million."

I still always prefer to get credit/ criminal checks if possible, so if you cant get these without social, then you have justification for being uncomfortable renting to #1.

Though there are of course actual assets in the plan (unlike social security), most plans are underfunded based on realistic assumptions about their future investment returns (they tend to overstate their investment return assumptions to minimize the contributions that the company needs to make to the plan, which is a hit to their earnings).However, this is not to be done lightly.

I know countless people who went to college, but didn't finish or, they got a useless degree (political science, poetry, social work, etc.) and now have a job that pays nothing or a job that they don't even use their degree for.

And still further, if you have a good paying day job, you may already be hitting the limit for social security tax.

No social free money for the most part and you can work or leave and return to your old country.

Next week, for the whole week I'll be a social worker treating those afflicted with real estate investor syndrome, a condition of that effects many who fail to realize reality with grandiose tendencies....
