I only received one kind of advice when I asked my other friends about it and that is a resounding 'No!'. You see, a good friend in the Philippines, asked me and dh if we would want to invest in their new business. I don't know if it's one of the top franchises in the Philippines. I know it's some sort of office outsourcing. He was a friend from college and we kept in touch over the years. These past few years though, we haven't been as close after he got married. I feel that his wife is not exactly crazy about me. I guess she knew that he had a crush on me when we were in college. It didn't matter that we were just friends. So, because of that, our friendship is slowly dying. Sad, isn't it? But I have to accept it. Oh well.
It's time for me to start thinking of my future. Should I go back to my old career or get a new one? Right now I'm leaning towards a new career. Even though my old career is a very stable one, I don't think I want all the pressure that comes with it. I have to start looking at my choices and maybe even go back to school or get an online degree. With the cost of college education, I want to be able to help dh when it's time for our kids to get a degree.
Do you carry your child's Social Security card with you at all times? You shouldnt. You shouldn't even carry your own SS card. You don't need it. It's safer to leave it at home. Why? If your pocket book or wallet gets stolen, then you're setting yourself up for identity theft. It is rampant these days. Always check your credit report every year. It is free. To be extra careful, you can sign up for one of those identity theft protection services. You can never be too careful.
