Debt! And How to Get Out of It- 1st Period- Class #4
As far as Lily was concerned, it was just another week. And really, given the initial reaction to Evelyn the cockamouse, this was how everyone should prefer her: nice and in the dark.
"So the last couple weeks we've been racking up debt," she said. "This week we're going to start on how to solve it. And the first step, when you've finally begun to realize how far you are in the hole, is to start coming up with ways to pay it off. Yes, after you've told the bill collectors to go away. That's how it works.
"What I want you to do today is come up with a list of ways to raise money. Are there jobs you could take? Can you sell anything? Be as specific as you want, since that's really the fun part, and then after you're done we'll read them aloud, so as specific as you are, remember you have to share with the class."
[YES IT'S LAME. IT'S BEEN A MORNING.]
