You & Daily Interest = better than Batman and Robin. And we don't slap you, either!
Here’s the news that caught my eye while I was wondering whatever happened to the T-Mobile Sidekick. Having one of those things seriously made you the coolest and most tech-savvy kid in middle school. I may or may not be spending the next week trying to design a way for my iPhone’s screen to pop out and swivel around…
- Don’t know anything about finance? The sidekicks that have been with you since you were born may be to blame: mom and dad. Now, many are advocating for financial education to begin early in a child’s life. Just think of all the time you wasted playing with Hotwheels and/or Barbies when you could’ve entertained yourself with a nice piggy bank instead.
- If you’ve got student loans, you probably want this Forbes columnist on your side. He’s got some bipartisan advice (I know, I never knew such a thing existed during an election year, either) on how to fix the student loan industry. You go, Peter J. Reilly!
- A good sidekick is never afraid to do their hero’s dirty laundry. Literally. Those of you who slept through Housekeeping 101 can find an entrepreneurial pool of helpful sidekicks to help you out with chores, provided that you pay them. Student-run services are great if you’re slightly lazy and have some serious cash stored up. It’s not like I know from first-hand experience or anything either…
- And finally, after your school is finished draining you and your family of every penny that you have, they may decide to hold back that diploma for things like unpaid parking tickets. How’s that for a nice sidekick when you’re down?
Have you jeopardized your undergraduate degree for parking in a fire lane? Do you have a trusty sidekick (other than us) that always has your back? Let us know in the comments!
