I'll correct it in the text. <BR/><BR/>I noticed you're with Senior Events of California. I'm about a month away from publishing a book on personal money management for young people. As a part of my research, I'm trying to ask 100 people over 50 years old (5000 years of experience!) three simple questions to help the younger generations:<BR/><BR/>1) What's something you did wrong with your money that you'd like to warn the younger generation about?<BR/>2) What's something you did right that you'd recommend?<BR/>3) Any other advice about money?<BR/><BR/>People seem excited to share. So few young people draw from the vast wisdom of older folks (I'm over 50 as well.)<BR/><BR/>Any ideas for getting more input?<BR/><BR/>SteveJ.

Clement Stone, the founder of Combined Insurance Companies of America, founded in the early 1900's in Chicago. Stone is dead now, but was a mentor to many gurus, including Jack.<BR/><BR/>I met Stone as a 16 year old at a Boy's Club concert my H.S. band was playing during the summer. Mr. Stone was very gracious to us all, and gave a short inspiring speech to a group of gangly teens.<BR/><BR/>Years later, I met his daughter, Donna Stone, who founded the National Assoc. for Prevention of Child Abuse. I joined the org. and became part of her speaker's bureau for a year.<BR/><BR/>A more gracious and sweet lady you'll never meet. Just like her dad.<BR/><BR/>Reece Franklin<BR/>Senior Events of California<BR/>seniorexpo@roadrunner.comReece Franklinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07715199136959846727noreply@blogger.com
