Little Moneybags
After we opened a checking and savings account for Cici today I teased her that she is a moneybags now, which led to a discussion of the meaning of the word. She also took out her first loan, in her name only, so that she can begin building a credit history. This was done at our credit union, which has different rules than those that govern banks. As soon as she is enrolled in her first college courses they will even issue a credit card, also solely in her name with no guarantor.
Little steps toward an independent future. Big steps toward learning about money and managing credit and understanding interest rates. We are following the tried and true path that we used to establish a credit history for Ping.
I heard steady chopping in the kitchen about 4:30 this morning and gave up on sleeping. Ping worked all night again preparing food for a group of her friends who are here now visiting with her. They had a great time talking while they made dumplings with all the ingredients that Ping prepared last night. Cici and I were treated to the hot steamed dumplings along with a teenage Chinese girl who is a daughter of one of Ping's friends. She is a few years younger than Cici, but she is a nice, polite girl and they seem to be suited to become friends.
I am thinking some fresh fruit might be in order. Maybe if I cut some orange wedges and serve them to the ladies it will be a hit.
