Twelve grand will get you one year in a middle-sized state college. Maybe.
If she puts it to investment, by the time she goes to college, with college costs rising far above inflation, she’ll get two quarters of a year. She’ll actually lose in that scenario.
Hate to burst your bubble, Agnes. But at ten bucks a pizza, your $12,000 won’t buy you daily pizza for very long. Maybe 4 years at most, if you clip coupons.
They need a new used truck. Agnes – go and enable the poor. Give the money to Grandma She will put some aside for a rainy day. Like your community college and see if its cheaper to get a new used truck or have the old fixed.Oh and you might get eggs and bacon on Sunday instead of a pop tart.

@Night-Gaunt49“Japan now owns more of our govt debt than China does.”.Sweet of them. Did we EVER owe China more than we owed Japan?

Oh, Agnes, please don’t turn your pack on the little people. You’ll meet them again on the way down!
