Some of us never respond to an article or even our social environment as a whole. We walk around seeming less going about our business and ignoring important issues, for whatever reasons; "I will do it tomorrow", "it does not affect me",etc.. Youth are our responsibility because they are the future of tomorrow. Investment in them is an investment for our society to go on tomorrow.

This speaks to our society as a whole. We need to focus on what is attainable and the fact that success is not measured by the amount of publicity that is generated around your celebrity status. Kudos! Excellent article. This speaks to our society as a whole.

The rules for travel within and to/from the United States are changing. You already MUST have a passport to fly in/out of the United States including to Mexico and Canada. The same will apply soon for those driving as well. IF YOU HAVE AN APPROACHING TRIP COMMING UP SOON AND DON'T HAVE A PASSPORT, NOTE THAT THE TIME TO GET ONE HAS INCREASED!!! Even if you pay to expedite the process it can take 3 weeks to get your passport. Don't delay! http://travel.state.gov/passport/passport_1738.html For those of you who may not have realized, you will be REQUIRED to have a US Passport in the near future.

Additional Tip: - Pay more than the minimum on your credit card debt each month. An extra $50 or $100 each month could make a huge difference in the time it takes to pay off the debt, saving you money in the long-term in reduced interest costs. Thank you and Great Tips Mikki.

Sometimes we do what we need to make it through. I feel it is very important to educate people about the importance of credit, now days its what everything depends on. One thing I would like to stress is the importance of investing. If your working and have a 401k plan you should be contributing to it, and most employers have a match program for you to take advantage of. Also if your a college student like myself getting student loans can be your main source of income, but it does not have to be. Take a look into scholarships and try to keep your loan amounts limited to the actual classes you take. Last I would like to say, think about financial goals you would like to reach or things you would like to do in the future, sometimes a little sacrifice now will be well worth it in the end. mikki.
