Bank Accounts for
Grandchildren
By: Heather Latimer / Heather’s Self-Help Tips
When I started school in England in the
1930s, I was given a picture that showed a
tiny acorn beside a huge oak tree under the heading, “Little acorns
grow into huge oaks.”
It was accompanied by a post office savings book in which we were
instructed to deposit pennies from our weekly allowance plus all the
money received for birthday and Christmas gifts. Consequently, I
developed the habit of saving that has remained with me to this time.
After spending long years working and increasing savings, I now need
that money to pay for prescriptions, caregivers and perhaps residence in
an assisted living facility.
In addition, like some aging grandparents, we may be “victims” of
several offspring with entitlement mindsets. Youngsters who expect
frequent gifts and cash handouts without working for them plus a
substantial inheritance later on.
With so many demands on money it’s wise to introduce newborn
family members to handling their own deposits and withdrawals. Chase
Bank recently introduced a “debit card for kids” aged 6 – 17 years of
age. Every adult Chase customer is eligible to open it in a child’s name
by making a small one-time initial payment.
Thereafter the young account owner is required to keep it open by
making deposits. Those could consist of a fixed portion from a regular
monthly allowance plus earnings for chores carried out in the home,
or from odd jobs like babysitting.
According to bankers, those hands-on experiences cannot fail to
result in wise decisions regarding their capital long before the youthful
account owners reach maturity.

Mysterious Mount Shasta
By: Ali Guggenheim / Psychic Phenomenon
Thousands of seekers from all over the
world arrive in Mount Shasta’s in Northern
California for spiritual cleansing, healing, and
self-discovery.
Although some visitors come for outdoor sports, many more flock
here annually for mystical experiences. Most say they heard it was a
magical healing Mecca, while some say they listened to the “Call of
the Mountain.”
Yet, everyone agreed that it was impossible to go to Mount Shasta and
not be changed.
Mount Shasta is one of the planet’s most energetic and sacred peaks.
Historically it’s been a paranormal wonderland.
It has vortexes, cosmic portals, caverns, hot springs, etc.; Bigfoot,
UFO, inexplicable supernatural sightings, stories of hikers vanishing
without a trace, etc. It’s also the source of ancient legends and
Shamanic rituals since the Native Americans.
The Winnemem Wintu tribe, indigenous to the area, claim they’ve
always felt that they came from the mountain; it’s a sacred part of
the center of the universe. They even have stories about it being the
creator’s home.
Some wonder if the mountain’s unique geology and placement
on earth attract beings from other worlds - and maybe even different
dimensions. Others believe that the lost continent of Lemuria, with
its Crystalline capital city, Telos, is hidden underneath the mountain.
Some claimed to see white-robed, seven foot giant Lemurians shopping
in town, traveling in cloud-shaped UFOs in and out of the mountain.
An enigma still haunts Mount Shasta native Elijah Sullivan. He
spent the last six years trying to solve the mystery of a giant (60 ft)
secretly hand-dug hole on forest land on the side of Mount Shasta ten
years ago. Even though Forest Agents refilled the gap, Sullivan is still
adamant about investigating its source and what they were looking
for.
He’s been tracking three main theories, each of which points to a
different story about the region’s history. Were they looking for the
underworld of Lemuria, Ancient American Indian artifacts, or gold?
As cited in Active NoCal Magazine: “The town’s diversity is its draw,
and sitting at the bottom of the hole could have been any object
representing any of the mountain’s mysteries. Unfortunately, its
origins may never be known, just like the many unanswered questions
surrounding Mount Shasta.”
