Clark Howard always says when you get a windfall, use 90% of it for bills/saving/practical stuff and 10% for something fun. Being responsible is very important, but enjoying life is too.

That is so awesome. I wish I’d had your class in school!

With Stock Market, you may want to more broadly cover investing, with other stuff like bonds, CDs, etc. as well as “what is a mutual fund” etc.

And under taxes, you probably already have this covered but please make sure they understand tax brackets! SO many adults don’t even get this concept.

Thank you. I wonder why they didn’t just say that she’s a citizen and why they are describing her as Palestinian rather than Arab Israeli?

No it doesn’t. ID cards are also issued to non citizen residents.

Yes but she doesn’t. She only has an ID card, not citizenship.

Where is it written in the article?

There have only been about half a dozen ethnic Palestinians to play in the Israel Basketball Premier League since the first in the late 80s. It’s not very common, which is why her story is such a remarkable one.

How do you know this? You just said she was a citizen when she is not. She is from Bethlehem.

She is not a citizen. She only has an identity card which are issued to all residents, including noncitizens. She is from Bethlehem in the West Bank so most likely, her card is color coded to mark her as a Palestinian.

No. It’s not.

No that’s completely wrong. It is fine to talk to the IRS directly. You do not need to pay someone to talk to them for you.

The IRS cares about getting its money at some point and they are actually quite flexible about payment plans.

That’s not accurate. You do in fact own your home, but the bank has a claim to it if you fail to pay your mortgage.
