Here is a money lesson. Compounding of interest is a powerful thing. I’m told we screwed the Indians when we bought Manhattan, N.Y. for $24 during the 1600’s. If the Indians had invested the $24 at an interest rate of 8% and reinvested it over and over, they would have enough money to buy Manhattan back today at current prices. I don’t have the energy to do the calculations but is it possible the Indians screwed us?
It is “full fledged” Obamacare season. The sign up period or renewal period for Medicare with all it options exists until early December. Anyone not covered by insurance must sign up for a program or pay a penalty. My mail is flooded with advertisements. What does an old senile person do? It is complex. It is an individual thing. You need to assess you personal medical situation, consider the risk of possible future problems and then, and then, what can you afford? It hurts to think about it. I’ll take it under consideration right after the Packer game on Sunday.
3000. At 7:30 AM tomorrow morning, the brand new Costco store opens it doors in Grand Chute and they expect 3000 people to scurry into the store. It costs $55-$110 per year to join. Is Costco that good with it’s bargains? Why do 3000 have to see the store on the first day?
I’m compelled to make several predictions. The Green Bay Packers are going to struggle to win their division. Jordy Nelson’s injury before the season began, sealed their destiny.
The UW-Badgers were an overwhelming favorite to win their Western Division of the Big 10. They lost their first home game to Iowa and Iowa will now go unbeaten. The Badgers fate was sealed early in the season. They will be an “also ran”.
No I’m not negative. Facts! Just facts.
Love,
Dad
