More research

I think it's pretty interesting how each day another new thought or concept pops into my head. Sometimes the idea is completely new to me, sometimes the concept is the convergence of random thoughts into something that resembles coherency. One day at a time, one step at a time. It's a good thing I started writing these things down.

My thoughts for today:

What are the graduation requirements (if any) in each of the fifty states in the area of financial literacy, economics, or anything resembling the like? I have looked at Texas and Oklahoma so far. I must say, the Oklahoma State Department of Education appears to be taking this quite seriously. They have created a "passport", containing several key concepts, that will be required for graduation no later than the graduating class of 2014. Concepts include checkbook balancing, identity theft, understanding loans and predatory lending, and several other real world topics.

My other primary thought today involves my need for a partner. Or partners. Someone with complimentary skills. That could be in the areas of financial planning, education, ministry, media, or who knows what else. I know I'm not smart enough to do all of this alone. What does the partnership look like? Again, I have no idea right now. When the time is right, it will happen.

One day, one step at a time.
