2013 Is The Year of Possibilities and Hope!

Hello Indentured Educated Citizens! I know that many of you are struggling and that things have gotten worse in terms of your financial and emotional situations. You know that Iam very sorry about this and it hurts me to receive painful notes filled with despair from all of you. That said, please, please feel free to continue writing to me and posting comments here. We must focus on tending to one another, and it is my job to do exactly that. Even though some of your notes upset me, and even make me cry (yes! I do cry, because I care deeply about people), I am always glad - more than glad - to hear from you.

I want to publicly apologize for not being as engaged with my political activism lately. I have had a health scare these past few weeks. I even fainted in the Emergency Room last week! But, heck, if you are going to faint, that is the place to do it. But don't worry! I am on the mend, and terribly excited about 2013. I know this: 2013 is the year of possibilities and hope!

Once I am fully mended, I am going to be launching a fundraising campaign on Kickstarter, because All Education Matters needs to be nurtured and grow! (Just like what I've been doing for myself lately, and it's great).

So, again, don't worry about my health. I am feeling stronger every day, and am very excited to continue my work as an advocate for the indentured educated class.

On another note, many of you have been talking about fleeing the country for jobs elsewhere. I want to offer some help on that, because this is something I also write about. So, I am at your service for that, too.

Stay tuned, friends.

FinanceSherpas.com: The Risks & Dangers Of Cosigning Specific Loans

As I mentioned yesterday, I am now a contributing writer for FinanceSherpas.com. Here is a snippet from one of many articles by me on this new, exciting site:

When it comes to co-signing loans for friends or family, the risks are enormous. While it might make sense to help out someone you care about who doesn’t have the credit necessary to obtain a loan, the consequences, if they don’t live up to her obligations of repaying the loan, can potentially lead you to financial suicide. The most dangerous thing about co-signing on someone else’s loans is your own credit score. But that is only part of the risk.

Here is are three types of loans that, if you are asked to be a co-signer, you should consider very carefully and then take the necessary precautions before agreeing to help out.
