Help me FAFSA, Help, Help me FAFSA!

October 9, 2019October 9, 2019moneyman

So this title is really for the parents out there (or the older students, maybe). Anyone remember the Beach Boys classic “Help Me Rhonda”? Maybe we need to write a spoof called “Help me FAFSA”? I’m not the Beach Boys,…

Jk Jk (The CARES Act Returns)

June 12, 2020June 13, 2020moneyman1 Comment

In today’s cancel culture, maybe you’ve heard of JK JK? And, no, I’m not talking today about JK Rowling’s ridiculously offensive tweetstorm (although you could message me and we could have a WHOLE conversation about that). So, Philip J. Fry,…

All in the Family (Verification part 3)

June 8, 2020moneyman
